How do I summarise a PDF with ChatGPT?
Extract the text from the PDF (for example with the Lunyce "PDF to text" tool, without uploading the file), then paste it into a prompt that sets the audience, length and format: short summary, key points, figures, decisions and actions. Also tell the AI not to make anything up.
How to use it
- Get the text of the document (for a PDF, with the "PDF to text" tool, without uploading it anywhere).
- Paste it into the field, then say who the summary is for and how long it should be.
- Copy the prompt or open it in your AI.
Tips for better results
- For a very long document, summarise it section by section, then ask for a summary of the summaries.
- Remove personal information from the text before pasting it into an online AI.
Can ChatGPT read a PDF directly?
Some versions accept file attachments. Otherwise, extract the text with the Lunyce "PDF to text" tool, which runs in your browser, then paste it into the prompt.
