What is AI (Artificial Intelligence)?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the development of computer systems that can perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, decision-making, and pattern recognition. AI encompasses technologies like machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), and computer vision, enabling machines to process data, understand language, and interpret images.
AI in PDF Processing
In PDF processing, AI refers to advanced technologies that enhance how users create, edit, convert, and interact with Portable Document Format (PDF) files. It automates complex tasks, turning static PDFs into dynamic, interactive documents that boost productivity and accessibility.
AI transforms PDF workflows by simplifying and accelerating tasks that were once manual or error-prone.
Key applications include:
- Summarization: AI tools can analyze PDFs and deliver instant summaries or answers to user questions, ideal for lengthy reports or research papers.
- OCR (Optical Character Recognition): AI enhances the accuracy of converting scanned PDFs into editable text, enabling digitization of old documents or handwritten notes, critical for archives and healthcare.
- Data Extraction: AI automatically extracts structured data, such as invoice amounts or contract clauses, streamlining workflows in finance and legal sectors.
- Translation and Accessibility: AI translates PDFs into multiple languages, generates audio versions, simplifies text for readability, and transcribes audio or video recordings into written text within PDFs. These features make PDFs accessible to diverse audiences, including people with disabilities or non-native speakers.
