Does Cursor support PDF analysis?

Supported with conditions

Cursor agents can read PDFs attached in chat, and Grok Bot also lists PDFs among supported file inputs.

What this state means

Supported with conditions, with the qualification kept attached.

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.

Capability definition

Extracts or interprets information from uploaded PDF documents.

Scope boundary

Text extraction, visual PDF understanding, form editing, and PDF creation are distinct capabilities.

Researcher note

Path A pairs cursor.com/changelog/2-4 with cursor.com/docs/grok-bot/work. Agent overview and prompting pages do not restate PDF reading. Grok Bot billing page, checked and not used as a plan list, says access is included on paid individual Cursor plans and Teams, with Enterprise enabled separately. That page says Pro+, which is not the seed string Pro Plus, and it does not mention Hobby.
