Claude accepts documents such as PDFs and DOCX files for analysis and summarization.
Official source · verified 2026-10-01 ↗Get ready
- Open Claude and upload the PDF.
- Tell Claude who the summary is for and how much detail you need.
Give it this
Read the attached PDF. Give me: (1) a five-bullet executive summary, (2) the decisions already made, (3) open questions and risks, and (4) a short list of claims I should verify. Cite the page or section for each substantive point. If the document does not support a claim, say so rather than filling the gap. Audience: [describe audience].
Make it useful
- Scan the summary for missing context and ask Claude to expand any unclear section.
- Open the cited pages and verify the decisions and figures yourself.
- Turn the verified points into a short action list for your audience.
One thing to check. Document access and size limits vary by account. Check important page references against the original PDF.
