Read the PDF on screen, no upload portal.
Can I use the file already open?
No upload portal is involved: Jarvis (getjarvis.eu), a screen-aware AI assistant, reads the PDF open on your screen. Press Cmd+/ on macOS or Ctrl+/ on Windows with the document in front of you. Ask for the gist, a section-by-section outline, the decisions it records, or the action items it leaves you. Jarvis is a screen-aware desktop AI assistant for macOS 12+, Windows 10+, and Linux that reads the document where it already lives, on your screen or via your Google Drive connector, so you skip the drag-and-drop-to-a-website step. It can give you a one-paragraph gist, a section-by-section outline, the key decisions, or just the action items, and it can cite the page each point came from. Long reports route to frontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google, which handle large context well. Tokens are AES-256-GCM encrypted, processing is GDPR-aligned, and the file is never used for training. Free to start, then $16/month for Pro.

Uploading a PDF to a random summarizer site means handing a stranger your document. Jarvis avoids that entirely: it reads the page that is open in front of you. For a long file, connect Google Drive and let it open the source directly, or scroll through and let it capture as it goes. Either way you are not posting the file to a third-party web form. The processing happens on Jarvis's own GDPR-aligned infrastructure, so the trust boundary is one vendor with a clear privacy posture rather than an anonymous tool.
A good summary depends on why you are reading. Ask Jarvis for an executive abstract, a bullet outline mirroring the headings, the three decisions a reader must make, the risks flagged, or only the numbers and deadlines. For a research paper, ask for the method, results, and limitations separately. You can also ask follow-up questions against the same document, drilling from the summary into a specific section, and request a page citation for any claim so you can jump straight to the source passage and verify it.
