Can I summarise a scanned PDF?

Only when the PDF already has a text layer. AI Document Summary reads that text in your browser and does not run OCR. If the scan has no text, use the OCR tool first, then summarise the result.

Can I choose how long the summary is?

No. There is no length or depth control. The tool writes one summary of the text you provide.

Do I need Pro, or is AI Document Summary free?

You need Pro. AI Document Summary is a Pro feature.

Should I treat the summary as fact?

No. Review it before you use it for a decision or publication. The tool does not check that the source is correct.
