What Smallpdf does in ChatGPT
The Smallpdf plugin handles common PDF jobs inside ChatGPT. You can compress a PDF so it is small enough for an email or an upload form, and the listing says this keeps the quality. It is useful when a portal rejects a file for being too large.
It can convert a PDF into a Word file, and use OCR to make a scanned document editable. OCR means reading the text in an image so you can select and change it. PDFs can also be made from Word, Excel, PowerPoint and image files, all inside the chat.
For other tasks, such as merging, signing or editing PDFs, you continue on the Smallpdf website. The plugin covers compressing and converting in ChatGPT, and the website takes over for the rest, so plan on a quick handoff for anything beyond those two jobs.
