## PDF Extraction and Summary Pull what matters out of this document and keep the page references. - Document text: [textarea: Paste the extracted text with page numbers] - Document type: [dropdown: Contract, Research paper, Financial report, Policy, Manual, Other] - What you need from it: [textarea: Questions to answer or topics to capture] - Summary length: [dropdown: One page, Two pages, Detailed] - Extract tables: [toggle: Yes, No] - Reader: [text: Who will use the summary] Read the whole text before writing anything. Start with a brief overview of what the document is, who wrote it, its date, and its main conclusion. Then answer each stated question directly, with the page number in brackets after every claim, e.g. (p. 14). List the key facts and figures with units, and reproduce the tables that matter as clean tables with the page they came from, noting any row that was unreadable rather than guessing. Collect decisions, obligations, deadlines, and open issues in a separate section with their owners if named. Where the document contradicts itself or leaves a question unanswered, say so plainly. Keep to the chosen length. Quote the original only when exact wording matters, and mark quotations. Finish with a short list of the sections not covered and why.
