Hello,
Thank you for contacting Google Cloud Community!
Yes, it is possible to process a PDF file with Gemini by passing the PDF as a base-64 encoded string instead of as a GS URI. Here's how you can do it:
Encode the PDF file to base-64:
- Use a programming language or online tool to convert the PDF file into a base-64 encoded string.
- Make sure the base-64 string includes the data:application/pdf;base64, prefix.
Create a Gemini request:
- Construct a Gemini request that includes the base-64 encoded PDF string as the input.
- Specify the appropriate prompt or instructions for Gemini to process the PDF content.
Send the request to Gemini:
- Use the Gemini API or a client library to send the request and receive the response.
- Here's an example of how you might do this using Python and the requests library:
Python
import requests
# Replace with your Gemini API endpoint and API key
api_endpoint = "https://api.gemini.com/v1/chat"
api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"
# Base-64 encoded PDF string
pdf_base64 = "data:application/pdf;base64,YOUR_BASE64_ENCODED_PDF_HERE"
# Gemini request payload
payload = {
"prompt": "Analyze the content of this PDF document:",
"input": pdf_base64
}
headers = {
"Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}"
}
response = requests.post(api_endpoint, json=payload, headers=headers)
if response.status_code == 200:
print(response.json())
else:
print("Error:", response.text)
