1.ChatPDF

ChatPDF is one of the finest chatbots that enables you to extract information from PDF with ease and speed. It first analyzes PDF data and creates a semantic index for respective paragraphs. chatPDF is suitable for students, work, and curious minds.

This app keeps your PDF information in secure cloud storage for up to 7 days. Thereafter, this information is automatically deleted. It has the capability to answer any question from any PDF to satisfy your curiosity. The beauty of ChatPDF is that it understands any language, and you can let it reply in your desired language.

While this tool is great, it struggles with questions that need understanding multiple paragraphs simultaneously. Again, it cannot understand images in PDFs or simply image-based PDF files. However, many users feel like its ability to handle large PDF files such as manuals, books, legal contracts, and essays makes it a powerful chatbot.

In terms of pricing, ChatPDF offers free and Plus options. The free option is limited to 120 pages and 10MB per PDF. Also, you can up to 3 PDFs and 50 questions per day.

Limitations of Current PDF-Reading Chatbots

PDF-reading chatbots are great because they allow you to interact with your PDF files and derive desired information easily. They give you the convenience and simplicity of the modern PDF-reading chatbot. Whether you want to use it for learning, business, or research, these chatbots make your life easier and full of fun.

However, they are not without flaws. Being in their early development stages, they still require more input to produce better results. Some of the significant flaws of current PDF-reading chatbots include:

1. Cannot read image-based PDF

Reading image-based PDF files is not a walk in the park. Only a handful of tools can unlock texts in scanned/image-based PDF files. The current PDF-reading chatbots can't unlock texts in scanned PDFs; hence, you cannot read image-based PDF files with these chatbots.

This means you have to first convert them into normal PDFs before tasking these chatbots to read them.

2. Upload file size limitation

While you may want to use these chatbots to read every type and size of your PDF file, the bad news is that they can't handle all PDF file sizes. Modern chatbots are effective for reading small or medium files. However, large files limit their processing capability, and they struggle to read them. Therefore, there are certain file size limits that PDF-reading chatbots fail to handle.

Conclusion

AI Chatbot for reading and understanding PDFs offers huge possibilities. While these tools still lack some capabilities, using them alongside suitable PDF editors takes the experience with PDFs to another level.

As you can see, Wondershare PDFelement and this chatbot are wonderful. It brings efficacy, reliability, and convenience in one pot.
