Enhancement: PDF to Image Transformation for Comprehensive Image Processing

[franperic]

What features would you like to see added?

I would like the ability to upload PDF files and have them automatically transformed into images. These images should then be processed by the integrated vision models, utilizing their capabilities for both OCR and general image processing. This approach can substantially increase the accuracy and efficiency of handling various content types within PDFs, including text, images, and graphics.

Currently, there is a cumbersome workaround: creating snapshots of PDFs and uploading them directly as images. Processing the PDFs automatically as images would be a huge boost in user experience.

More details

1. PDF to Image Conversion: Upon uploading a PDF, each page should be converted into an image. This step ensures that all content within the document, including complex layouts, images, and non-selectable text, is accurately captured.

2. Vision Model Processing: The resulting images would then be attached to the prompt and processed by the existing vision models, leveraging their advanced image understanding capabilities. This will enable the application to handle a wide variety of document types and content layouts very effectively.
