Read, check and process PDFs by conversation
What moves
The Copilot (or an AI assistant you connect) reads a PDF's text, runs scan recognition, checks accessibility and signatures and lists processing runs; after confirmation it can also merge, split, rotate, compress, sanitise and stamp files that were already uploaded to PDF tools.
Before you start
- PDF Tools and AI Copilot in your plan
- An AI provider set up for your company
- The person asking holds the permission the action needs
- The file already uploaded to PDF tools, with its reference given to the assistant (the chat window has no attach button for this today)
- The person holds the permission the action needs
Step by step

Uploads the scanned letter through the module's upload step and notes the file's reference.
You see:The file sits in the company's own storage.
- EmployeeAI Copilot
Asks the Copilot to read the text of that file.
You see:The Copilot sees that almost no text comes out and says the file is a scan.
- EmployeeAI Copilot
Confirms the card asking to make the scan searchable in Arabic and English.
You see:Recognition runs and a new searchable file is produced; the original is untouched.
- SystemPDF Tools & E-Signature
Records the run in the person's History like any other run.
You see:The run appears in PDF tools with its pages, sizes and a download link.
- EmployeePDF Tools & E-Signature
Opens the download link from the Copilot's reply.
