文档理解

Gemini 模型可以处理 PDF 格式的文档,并使用原生视觉功能来理解整个文档的上下文。这不仅仅是提取文本,还让 Gemini 能够:

  • 分析和解读内容,包括文本、图片、图表、图表和表格,即使是长达 1000 页的文档也能轻松应对。
  • 结构化输出格式提取信息。
  • 根据文档中的视觉和文本元素总结内容并回答问题。
  • 转写文档内容(例如转写为 HTML),同时保留布局和格式,以便在下游应用中使用。

您也可以通过相同的方式传递非 PDF 文档,但 Gemini 会将这些文档视为普通文本,从而消除图表或格式等上下文信息。

以内嵌方式传递 PDF 数据

您可以在请求中内嵌传递 PDF 数据。此方法最适合处理小型文档或临时处理,因为您无需在后续请求中引用该文件。对于需要在多轮对话中参考的较大文档,我们建议使用 Files API,以缩短请求延迟时间并减少带宽使用量。

以下示例展示了如何以内嵌方式传递 PDF 数据:

Python

from google import genai
import base64

client = genai.Client()

with open('path/to/document.pdf', 'rb') as f:
    pdf_bytes = f.read()

interaction = client.interactions.create(
    model="gemini-3.8-flash",
    input=[
        {
            "type": "document",
            "data": base64.b64encode(pdf_bytes).decode('utf-8'),
            "mime_type": "application/pdf"
        },
        {"type": "text", "text": "Summarize this document"}
    ]
)

print(interaction.output_text)

JavaScript

import { GoogleGenAI } from "@google/genai";
import * as fs from "node:fs";

const ai = new GoogleGenAI({});

async function main() {
    const pdfData = fs.readFileSync("path/to/document.pdf", {
        encoding: "base64"
    });

    const interaction = await ai.interactions.create({
        model: "gemini-3.8-flash",
        input: [
            { type: "text", text: "Summarize this document" },
            {
                type: "document",
                data: pdfData,
                mime_type: "application/pdf"
            }
        ]
    });
    console.log(interaction.output_text);
}

使用 Files API 上传 PDF

对于较大的文件,或者当您打算在多个请求中重复使用文档时,建议您使用 Files API。这样可将文件上传与模型请求分离,从而缩短请求延迟时间并减少带宽用量。

来自网址的大型 PDF 文件

使用 File API 可简化通过网址上传和处理大型 PDF 文件的流程:

Python

from google import genai
import io
import httpx

client = genai.Client()

long_context_pdf_path = "https://arxiv.org/pdf/2312.11805"

doc_io = io.BytesIO(httpx.get(long_context_pdf_path).content)

sample_doc = client.files.upload(
  file=doc_io,
  config=dict(
    mime_type='application/pdf')
)

prompt = "Summarize this document"

interaction = client.interactions.create(
    model="gemini-3.8-flash",
    input=[
        {"type": "document", "uri": sample_doc.uri, "mime_type": sample_doc.mime_type},
        {"type": "text", "text": prompt}
    ]
)
print(interaction.output_text)

JavaScript

import { GoogleGenAI } from "@google/genai";

const ai = new GoogleGenAI({});

async function main() {

    const pdfBuffer = await fetch("https://arxiv.org/pdf/2312.11805")
        .then((response) => response.arrayBuffer());

    const fileBlob = new Blob([pdfBuffer], { type: 'application/pdf' });

    const file = await ai.files.upload({
        file: fileBlob,
        config: {
            displayName: 'A17_FlightPlan.pdf',
        },
    });

    let getFile = await ai.files.get({ name: file.name });

        console.log(`current file status: ${getFile.state}`);
        console.log('File is still processing, retrying in 5 seconds');

        await new Promise((resolve) => {

        });
    }
    if (file.state === 'FAILED') {

传递多个 PDF

Gemini API 能够在单个请求中处理多个 PDF 文档(最多 1, 000 页),前提是文档和文本提示的总大小不超过模型的上下文窗口。

技术详情

Gemini 支持大小不超过 50MB 或页数不超过 1,000 页的 PDF 文件。此限制适用于内嵌数据和 Files API 上传。每个文档页面相当于 258 个词元。

虽然除了模型的上下文窗口之外,对文档中的像素数量没有具体限制,但较大的页面会被缩小到最大分辨率 (3072 x 3072),同时保留其原始宽高比,而较小的页面会被放大到 768 x 768 像素。除了带宽之外,较低尺寸的网页不会降低费用,而较高分辨率的网页也不会提高性能。

Gemini 3 模型

Gemini 3 通过 media_resolution 参数引入了对多模态视觉处理的精细控制。您现在可以为每个媒体部分分别设置低、中或高分辨率。添加此功能后,PDF 文档的处理方式已更新:

  1. 原生文本纳入:提取 PDF 中原生嵌入的文本并将其提供给模型。
  2. 结算和代币报告
    • 无需支付源自 PDF 中提取的原生文本的令牌费用。
    • 在 API 响应的 usage_metadata 部分中,通过处理 PDF 页面(作为图片)生成的 token 现在计入 IMAGE 模态,而不是像某些早期版本那样计入单独的 DOCUMENT 模态。

如需详细了解媒体分辨率参数,请参阅媒体分辨率指南。

文档类型

从技术上讲,您可以传递其他 MIME 类型以进行文档理解,例如 TXT、Markdown、HTML、XML 等。不过,文档视觉 仅能有意义地理解 PDF。其他类型的文件将作为纯文本提取,模型无法解读这些文件的呈现内容。所有特定于文件类型的信息(例如图表、示意图、HTML 标记、Markdown 格式等)都将丢失。

如需了解其他文件输入方法,请参阅文件输入方法指南。

最佳做法

为了达到最佳效果,请注意以下事项:

  • 请先将页面旋转到正确的方向,然后再上传。
  • 避免页面模糊。
  • 如果使用单页,请将文本提示放在页面之后。

后续步骤

如需了解详情,请参阅以下资源:

  • 文件提示策略:Gemini API 支持使用文本、图片、音频和视频数据进行提示,也称为多模态提示。
  • 系统指令:系统指令可让您根据自己的特定需求和使用情形来控制模型的行为。
