How to Summarize PDF Reports with AI in Foxit PDF Editor
This video tutorial shows you how to turn a long, multi-section PDF report into a clear, cited summary in seconds using Foxit PDF Editor's AI Summarize Document feature. You'll see how to run the summary directly or through AI Chat, review key insights organized into an easy-to-scan format, and verify every claim against the exact page it came from.

Foxit PDF Editor's Summarize Document tool scans the entire report while keeping it in context, organizes the key insights and sections, and links every point back to its source page — so analysts, compliance teams, and researchers can move faster without losing the ability to verify what the summary says.
