Dear GPT-4,

I am wondering if you could assist me in analyzing a PDF file. Specifically, I would like to know how to upload a PDF file into the GPT-4 platform for analysis.

Could you kindly guide me through the steps required to upload a PDF document into the GPT-4 platform, and provide any additional instructions that may be helpful in analyzing the file?

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Sincerely,

Sure! We are at your service!

What programming language will you be using to write your code?

I have a PDF with 1000 words, and I would like a description of each and every word. This is my only request. Thank you. I look forward to your reply.

GPT-3/4 is not capable of directly analysing the PDF.

Here is what you can do:

  1. Extract the content of the PDF as text
    • If you are using Python you can do it using PyPDF2 library
  2. Pass the extracted text to the API

Is there a way to feed it 1000 pages? Like a few books possibly for my class? I’ve tried other services like file.io but the temperature is not right. It’s sticking to the PDF way to much

yes, simply split the book up by (sub-) chapters and feed that to GPT-3/4 to summarize, then put the outputs in a new file with the chapter names as headlines
