Sometimes, Fin has difficulties reading all of the information from a PDF file for it’s knowledge base. This could be because of formatting, background images, or a host of other reasons. Instead of trying to figure out the issue with the file, simply do this:Click anywhere on the PDF > right click > Select All > right click > CopyGo to your favorite AI bot, like ChatGPT, and say “Please format this so it’s readable” (Always be polite to our AI friends!) and then paste in the text blobThe bot will give you a perfectly formatted text response backSimply copy that response > paste that into a blank document > Save as PDF and upload that to FinNow Fin should have no problems reading the document 🙂
