PDF Pals features
Interact with your PDFs
Get insights from your PDFs without uploading the files — the app’s OCR engine processes the text and AI analyzes it locally. Get answers quickly and save time!
Get answers with citations
Know exactly where the answers are coming from as PDF Pals provides you with not just the answers to your questions but also cites the sources for said answers from your documents.
Chat with multiple PDFs

No uploads needed
Your PDFs stay on your Mac, no uploads are required. Additionally, the app automatically redacts the sensitive information it detects in your files. There is no in-app analytics either.

App version: 1.8.1
When uploading a PDF with just 18 pages, it does not use the full document. I pressed GPT to figure out what was going on and here’s what it said: “I’m sorry, but the available excerpts don’t include section 1.1.2. The only visible parts are fragments of the table of contents (page 2) and a footer (page 4). If you can share the page number or the section title for 1.1.2 (or the full PDF), I can extract the text verbatim for you.” I am supposedly chatting with the entire PDF which includes section 1.1.2, but clearly there’s something wrong with the app, or it can’t handle a 18-page document.
