PDF Reading Now Requires Anthropic API

Entry
JSON All of v2.1.76
EntryKind: in v2.1.76,
ChangesSection of the release

Full PDF reading (without specifying page ranges) now requires the Anthropic API and poppler-utils.

What changed:

  • Old: "PDF reading is not supported. Install poppler-utils..."
  • New: "Reading full PDFs is only supported with the Anthropic API. Use the pages parameter to read specific page ranges (e.g., pages: \"1-5\", maximum N pages per request). This requires poppler-utils: install with brew install poppler on macOS or apt-get install poppler-utils on Debian/Ubuntu."
Evidence

PDF reading message (search for "Reading full PDFs is only supported with the Anthropic API")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
