So much valuable information is trapped in PDF and image files. Luckily, we have these powerful brains capable of processing those files to find specific information, which in fact is great.
But how many of us, deep inside wouldn’t like to have a tool that can answer any question about a given document?
That is the whole purpose of this article. I will explain step-by-step how to build a system that can chat with any PDFs and image files.

General Workflow of the project
It’s always good to have a clear understanding of the main components of the system being built. So let’s get started.

- First, the user submits the document to be processed, which can be in PDF or image format.
- A second module is used to detect the format of the file so that the relevant content extraction function is applied.
- The content of the document is then split into multiple chunks using the
Data Splittermodule.
