Chat with PDF

To chat with a PDF you need docId of the PDF. To get docId upload the PDF first.

Using the save_chat option you can save chat history and can find the same in PDF.ai/documents/<docId>

To delete the chat you need to delete the PDF document using delete API.

If you are in our Enterprise plan, then you can make use of the powerful GPT-4 model to get better answers using use_gpt4 field in the request body.

Note: There use to be chatId field previously for saving chat but now it's deprecated. You just need to use save_chat field in order to save your chat history now.
