Part of Dume Office, currently in beta.
Dume PDF opens, reads, and edits real .pdf files on your machine in Cowork desktop, with Dume’s AI copilot built into the editor itself.

Opening a PDF

  • Ask in chat: attach or reference a PDF and ask Dume to work on it; it opens in Dume PDF.
  • New File inside Dume Office if you’re building a PDF from other content.
  • Open an existing .pdf from Cowork; it launches in Dume PDF already editable.
See Dume Office for all three entry points in detail.

What the copilot can do

Because the copilot has the PDF open, it can do anything you’d otherwise do by hand: summarize a long document, answer questions about what’s in it, fill out a form, or edit the text directly instead of you exporting it elsewhere first. Point it at a specific page or section rather than the whole file for a tighter result.

A note on scanned documents

Editing and Q&A work best on PDFs that already contain real text (exported from a document, not a photo or scan). A scanned PDF may need OCR to work reliably; if Dume can’t read text from a page, that’s usually why.
