7 of 10 tracked products have a source-backed state for pdf analysis.
That total includes conditional, plan-limited, platform-limited, and experimental support. It is not a count of universal “yes” answers. Records were reviewed on 2026-07-27.
| Product | State | Scope | Evidence | Verified |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT | Supported | Free, Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, Edu | 3 primary | |
| Claude | Supported | Product-wide | 1 primary | |
| Perplexity | Selected plans | Free, Pro, Max, Enterprise Pro, Enterprise Max | 2 primary | |
| Claude Code | Supported | Short PDFs are read whole. PDFs longer than 10 pages are read in ranges of up to 20 pages at a time, and those page-range reads need pdftoppm installed. The cited pages do not name a plan gate. | 2 primary | |
| Cursor | Supported with conditions | The agent changelog says agents can read PDFs attached in chat and does not name a plan. Grok Bot, a separate Cursor surface, lists PDFs as supported inputs and says unusual files may not be readable. This record does not copy Grok Bot billing labels onto seed plan names. | 2 primary | |
