Reading and Analyzing PDFs

Keyline's PDF view is where you read a document and start a conversation about it. This page covers the page view itself, how to navigate a long document, and how Keyline reads figures, diagrams, and tables rather than plain text alone.

The PDF view

Opening a processed document shows the page images alongside a conversation panel. The page view loads progressively as you scroll, so long documents open quickly instead of waiting for every page to render at once.

Page navigation

You can move through a document page by page, or jump directly to a specific page. When an answer cites a page, following that citation takes you straight to it, so you never need to scroll to find the source of an answer manually.

Figures, diagrams, and tables

Because Keyline is built on Google Gemini's multimodal understanding, it reads a page as a whole image, not only its extracted text. That means a chart, a diagram, or a table is understood in context, so a question like "what does the trend in this chart show" gets a real answer instead of Keyline treating the image as blank space. This is the same understanding that powers conversations and citations and multi-file search.
