PDF Chat, PDF Summarizers, and PDF Research/Study Aids
There are numerous PDF chat, PDF summarizers, and PDF research/study aids available online, many are free, at least for the basic plans. However, because Adobe invented the PDF, we feel it’s best to use their Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) (AI) offerings for PDF Chat, PDF Summarizers, and PDF research/study aids.
Adobe Acrobat Reader DC
Adobe Acrobat Reader DC now includes Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) (AI) features that allow users to summarize PDF documents, identify main themes within them, and provide conclusions of them. You can also ask any questions you need answered. To use this feature, simply open any PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and follow the given prompts or learn more here.
