Anthropic Claude 3.5 now includes PDF input
Over the past few weeks, Anthropic has released some interesting beta features that have gone largely unnoticed. One of them was its new token counting API. I have already written an article about this, which you can read by clicking on the link below.
The other cool feature, and the topic of this article, is that Claude 3.5 can now process PDFs and understand both the textual and visual content of PDF documents.
PDF capabilities
Claude works with any standard PDF file, allowing you to learn about the text, images, graphs and tables contained in your documents. Here are some common use cases:
- Analyze financial reports, interpret graphs and tables
- Extract key information from legal documents
- Assistance with document translations
- Converting document content into structured formats
