TL;DR: Navigating large PDFs and managing documents manually is inefficient and time-consuming. This blog highlights how Syncfusion’s innovative AI PDF Viewer with features like document summarization, smart redaction, and smart form filling transforms document management by automating processes, saving time, and significantly enhancing productivity.
Developers, are you tired of endless hours spent on manual PDF tasks? Discover how Syncfusion’s AI PDF Viewer is changing the game for modern document management, making efficiency a reality. In today’s digital landscape, effective document management is crucial, but PDFs can often be time-consuming to navigate and manage.
The PDF Viewer with AI Assistant offers an innovative solution to streamline document workflows. By leveraging artificial intelligence, this tool transforms the traditional PDF viewing experience into an intelligent workspace that saves time and enhances productivity.
What sets this PDF Viewer apart is its integration of advanced AI functionalities:
These smart features fundamentally transform how users interact with PDFs by automating manual processes and delivering a more intuitive experience. Experience the future of document management with Syncfusion®, where innovation meets simplicity.
To begin using Syncfusion’s AI PDF Viewer, you’ll need an OpenAI API Key, which you can obtain by creating an account on the OpenAI website. This API key needs to be configured in two locations: the SemanticKernel instance and the PdfViewerController file, where specific methods like InitializeOpenAI are used for SmartFill, DocumentSummarize, and SmartRedact.
SemanticKernel instance:
const string endpoint = "YOUR-END-POINT";
const string deploymentName = "YOUR-DEPLOYMENT-NAME";PdfViewerController file:
private void InitializeAI(SmartFill? smartFill, DocumentSummarize? documentSummarize, SmartRedact? smartRedact)
{
string apiKey = "AI-KEY";
smartFill?.InitializeOpenAI(apiKey);
documentSummarize?.InitializeOpenAI(apiKey);
smartRedact?.InitializeOpenAI(apiKey);
}The Document Summarizer uses AI to analyze and condense large volumes of text into concise, meaningful summaries. This powerful tool addresses the modern challenge of information overload by extracting the most essential parts of a document, allowing users to quickly grasp key information without reading every detail. For more information, refer to the demo sample.
Redaction is the process of removing or obscuring sensitive information from a document to protect privacy or confidentiality.
AI-driven redaction automates the process of identifying and hiding sensitive information using advanced machine learning technologies. The system can detect, classify, and redact confidential details with greater accuracy and efficiency than manual methods. For more information, refer to the demo sample.
Smart form filling uses artificial intelligence to enhance how information is transferred into forms. This feature intelligently analyzes content being pasted and automatically formats it correctly or fills in related fields based on context. For more insights, see the demo sample.
1. Where exactly do I get the endpoint, apiKey, and deploymentName values for the SemanticKernel instance?
To get the endpoint, deploymentName, and apiKey for Azure OpenAI, go to your Azure OpenAI resource in the Azure Portal. Under “Keys and Endpoint”, you’ll find the endpoint and apiKey. Under “Deployments”, you’ll find the deploymentName of your deployed model.
2. Can I selectively enable only one AI feature (e.g., just Smart Redact) without initializing the others?
Yes, you can customize the initialization by calling InitializeOpenAI(apiKey) only on the specific feature you want to enable (e.g., smartRedact). The other features can be left uninitialized by skipping their initialization.
3. Can I customize the summarization output (e.g., summary length or tone)?
Yes, you can customize the summarization output by adjusting parameters like length, tone, or focus in the prompt sent to the Azure OpenAI API in the PDF Viewer controller. This allows you to tailor summaries to be concise, detailed, formal, casual, or aligned with specific needs.
4. Can I store AI-generated insights or extracted data for future use?
Absolutely! Integrate the app with your database to archive summaries, translations, or user queries tied to specific PDFs for record-keeping or subsequent reference.
The integration of AI in PDF management is a way we interact with documents. Tools such as the Document Summarizer, Smart Redact, and Smart Form Filling not only enhance efficiency but also ensure accuracy and scalability, reducing the time and effort involved in traditional document handling.
By automating tasks from summarization to smart redaction and form entry, this tool ensures unparalleled efficiency and accuracy and provides a streamlined, seamless user experience.
