I wan't to OCR PDFs to Markdown TEXT using a model of my choice that supports ingesting PDFs.

How do I do this?

Output of the "Read source" step:

No relevant content could be extracted: the attached PDF was unavailable for processing, so its text cannot be quoted verbatim.

Output of the "Contemplating" step:

Analyzing File Errors

I'm currently investigating the failure to load a specific PDF file, identified as uploads/foobar.pdf. The error message points to an issue with the document's size not meeting a minimum requirement. This seems to be the primary cause for the read failure. I plan to check the file's dimensions.

Final output:

[unreadable:

The attached file foobar.pdf could not be processed by the document reader ("Min document size not reached"), so its contents are unavailable and cannot be transcribed.]

According to [https://kagifeedback.org/d/6801-gemini-use-document-processing-for-much-better-pdf-handling](https://kagifeedback.org/d/6801-gemini-use-document-processing-for-much-better-pdf-handling) the problem I'm describing shouldn't exist anymore... but it does!

What should have happened is that Kagi Assistant sends the raw file to the model.
