Hey everyone! So, I've been trying to figure out how to get my PDFs uploaded into ChatGPT for easier access and better responses. It’s not super straightforward, so I thought I’d start a chat here and see what you all think or know about it. Anyone cracked this nut yet?

One workaround I found is using PDF readers that export text or summaries, then paste those into ChatGPT. Not perfect but saves a lot of time.
You can also check ai-u.com for new or trending tools—sometimes they list apps that help upload PDFs into AI chatbots or extract info.
I've been wondering about this too. Seems like you can't exactly upload PDFs directly into ChatGPT, but maybe converting the text and pasting it works?
I tried uploading a PDF through some interface but got an error. I think ChatGPT just doesn't have that feature yet.
Honestly, I just wish ChatGPT would support direct PDF upload. Would make life way easier for studying and work stuff.
