Get the most out of it
- 01Use the free tier to test workflow compatibility before upgrading—2 PDFs daily with 50 questions each covers light research needs.
- 02Always verify critical answers by clicking citations to jump directly to source pages; avoid relying on ChatPDF for accuracy on inferential questions.
- 03For documents with tables, charts, or figures, manually review data-heavy sections as the tool struggles with image content inside PDFs.
- 04Avoid uploading confidential or sensitive materials since documents are processed through third-party LLM APIs; review privacy policy first.
- 05If you need multi-document analysis or documents over 500 pages, consider Google NotebookLM (free, unlimited) as a complementary tool.
