AI Agent with Gemini: OCR works for JPEG but not for PDF files

[Anshul_Namdev]

Hi @Leonardo_Vale Welcome
Currently AI agents do not handle files like that directly, there 2 things you can do first convert the PDF to images before the Agent and let Gemini OCR those and then process them further into the flow, second you can skip the Agent directly and convert the PDF to binary and then directly send that to the Gemini node and then let it analyze that document and process it further.

Consider reading this for more info about how to actually process PDFs:

Process a PDF using an LLM

I want to process a PDF using an LLM. For example, creating a prompt saying that I am going to upload a PDF (binary or base64) and I want to extract all the information (graph, tables, etc.) and then process the information. The PDF to Text component doesn’t help because I don’t want to remove just the text, I want an LLM to interpret graphics, tables, etc. The knowledge base doesn’t help in this case because I want to do some processing on the file before putting it somewhere.
