文档理解

Gemini API 支持 PDF 输入,包括长篇幅文档(最多 3, 600 页)。Gemini 模型使用原生视觉功能处理 PDF,因此能够理解文档中的文本和图片内容。借助原生 PDF 视觉支持,Gemini 模型能够:

  • 分析文档中的图表、图表和表格
  • 将信息提取为结构化输出格式
  • 回答有关文档中视觉内容和文本内容的问题
  • 总结文档
  • 转写文档内容(例如转写为 HTML),保留布局和格式,以便在下游应用中使用

本教程演示了使用 Gemini API 处理 PDF 文档的一些可能方法。

PDF 输入

对于小于 20MB 的 PDF 载荷,您可以选择上传 base64 编码的文档,也可以直接上传本地存储的文件。

作为 inline_data

您可以直接通过网址处理 PDF 文档。以下代码段展示了如何执行此操作:

DOC_URL="https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10089234/1/343019_3_art_0_py4t4l_convrt.pdf"
PROMPT="Summarize this document"
DISPLAY_NAME="base64_pdf"

# Download the PDF
wget -O "${DISPLAY_NAME}.pdf" "${DOC_URL}"

# Check for FreeBSD base64 and set flags accordingly
if [[ "$(base64 --version 2>&1)" = *"FreeBSD"* ]]; then
  B64FLAGS="--input"
else
  B64FLAGS="-w0"
fi

# Base64 encode the PDF
ENCODED_PDF=$(base64 $B64FLAGS "${DISPLAY_NAME}.pdf")

# Generate content using the base64 encoded PDF
curl "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemini-2.0-flash:generateContent?key=$GOOGLE_API_KEY" \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -X POST \
    -d '{
      "contents": [{
        "parts":[
          {"inline_data": {"mime_type": "application/pdf", "data": "'"$ENCODED_PDF"'"}},
          {"text": "'$PROMPT'"}
        ]
      }]
    }' 2> /dev/null > response.json

cat response.json
echo

jq ".candidates[].content.parts[].text" response.json

# Clean up the downloaded PDF
rm "${DISPLAY_NAME}.pdf"

技术详情

Gemini 1.5 Pro 和 1.5 Flash 最多支持 3,600 个文档页面。文档页面必须采用以下文本数据 MIME 类型之一:

  • PDF - application/pdf
  • JavaScript - application/x-javascripttext/javascript
  • Python - application/x-pythontext/x-python
  • TXT - text/plain
  • HTML - text/html
  • CSS - text/css
  • Markdown - text/md
  • CSV - text/csv
  • XML - text/xml
  • RTF - text/rtf

每页文档相当于 258 个词元。

除了模型的上下文窗口之外,文档中的像素数量没有具体限制,但较大的页面会缩小到最大分辨率 3072x3072,同时保留其原始宽高比,较小的页面会放大到 768x768 像素。除了带宽外,较小尺寸的网页不会降低费用,较高分辨率的网页也不会提升性能。

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。
  • 避免页面模糊不清。
  • 如果使用单个页面,请将文本提示放在该页面后面。

大型 PDF 文件

您可以使用 File API 上传任何大小的文档。当请求总大小(包括文件、文本提示、系统说明等)超过 20 MB 时,请始终使用 File API。

调用 media.upload 以使用 File API 上传文件。以下代码会上传文档文件,然后在对 models.generateContent 的调用中使用该文件。

通过网址上传的大型 PDF 文件

将 File API 用于可通过网址获取的大型 PDF 文件,简化直接通过网址上传和处理这些文档的过程:

PDF_PATH="https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/static/history/alsj/a17/A17_FlightPlan.pdf"
DISPLAY_NAME="A17_FlightPlan"
PROMPT="Summarize this document"

# Download the PDF from the provided URL
wget -O "${DISPLAY_NAME}.pdf" "${PDF_PATH}"

MIME_TYPE=$(file -b --mime-type "${DISPLAY_NAME}.pdf")
NUM_BYTES=$(wc -c < "${DISPLAY_NAME}.pdf")

echo "MIME_TYPE: ${MIME_TYPE}"
echo "NUM_BYTES: ${NUM_BYTES}"

tmp_header_file=upload-header.tmp

# Initial resumable request defining metadata.
# The upload url is in the response headers dump them to a file.
curl "${BASE_URL}/upload/v1beta/files?key=${GOOGLE_API_KEY}" \
  -D upload-header.tmp \
  -H "X-Goog-Upload-Protocol: resumable" \
  -H "X-Goog-Upload-Command: start" \
  -H "X-Goog-Upload-Header-Content-Length: ${NUM_BYTES}" \
  -H "X-Goog-Upload-Header-Content-Type: ${MIME_TYPE}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{'file': {'display_name': '${DISPLAY_NAME}'}}" 2> /dev/null

upload_url=$(grep -i "x-goog-upload-url: " "${tmp_header_file}" | cut -d" " -f2 | tr -d "\r")
rm "${tmp_header_file}"

# Upload the actual bytes.
curl "${upload_url}" \
  -H "Content-Length: ${NUM_BYTES}" \
  -H "X-Goog-Upload-Offset: 0" \
  -H "X-Goog-Upload-Command: upload, finalize" \
  --data-binary "@${DISPLAY_NAME}.pdf" 2> /dev/null > file_info.json

file_uri=$(jq ".file.uri" file_info.json)
echo "file_uri: ${file_uri}"

# Now generate content using that file
curl "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemini-2.0-flash:generateContent?key=$GOOGLE_API_KEY" \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -X POST \
    -d '{
      "contents": [{
        "parts":[
          {"text": "'$PROMPT'"},
          {"file_data":{"mime_type": "application/pdf", "file_uri": '$file_uri'}}]
        }]
       }' 2> /dev/null > response.json

cat response.json
echo

jq ".candidates[].content.parts[].text" response.json

# Clean up the downloaded PDF
rm "${DISPLAY_NAME}.pdf"

存储在本地的大型 PDF 文件

NUM_BYTES=$(wc -c < "${PDF_PATH}")
DISPLAY_NAME=TEXT
tmp_header_file=upload-header.tmp

# Initial resumable request defining metadata.
# The upload url is in the response headers dump them to a file.
curl "${BASE_URL}/upload/v1beta/files?key=${GEMINI_API_KEY}" \
  -D upload-header.tmp \
  -H "X-Goog-Upload-Protocol: resumable" \
  -H "X-Goog-Upload-Command: start" \
  -H "X-Goog-Upload-Header-Content-Length: ${NUM_BYTES}" \
  -H "X-Goog-Upload-Header-Content-Type: application/pdf" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{'file': {'display_name': '${DISPLAY_NAME}'}}" 2> /dev/null

upload_url=$(grep -i "x-goog-upload-url: " "${tmp_header_file}" | cut -d" " -f2 | tr -d "\r")
rm "${tmp_header_file}"

# Upload the actual bytes.
curl "${upload_url}" \
  -H "Content-Length: ${NUM_BYTES}" \
  -H "X-Goog-Upload-Offset: 0" \
  -H "X-Goog-Upload-Command: upload, finalize" \
  --data-binary "@${PDF_PATH}" 2> /dev/null > file_info.json

file_uri=$(jq ".file.uri" file_info.json)
echo file_uri=$file_uri

# Now generate content using that file
curl "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemini-1.5-flash:generateContent?key=$GOOGLE_API_KEY" \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -X POST \
    -d '{
      "contents": [{
        "parts":[
          {"text": "Can you add a few more lines to this poem?"},
          {"file_data":{"mime_type": "application/pdf", "file_uri": '$file_uri'}}]
        }]
       }' 2> /dev/null > response.json

cat response.json
echo

jq ".candidates[].content.parts[].text" response.json

您可以调用 files.get 来验证 API 是否已成功存储上传的文件,并获取其元数据。只有 name(以及通过扩展,uri)是唯一的。

name=$(jq ".file.name" file_info.json)
# Get the file of interest to check state
curl https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/files/$name > file_info.json
# Print some information about the file you got
name=$(jq ".file.name" file_info.json)
echo name=$name
file_uri=$(jq ".file.uri" file_info.json)
echo file_uri=$file_uri

多个 PDF 文件

Gemini API 能够在单个请求中处理多个 PDF 文档,前提是文档和文本提示的总大小在模型的上下文窗口内。

DOC_URL_1="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2312.11805"
DOC_URL_2="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2403.05530"
DISPLAY_NAME_1="Gemini_paper"
DISPLAY_NAME_2="Gemini_1.5_paper"
PROMPT="What is the difference between each of the main benchmarks between these two papers? Output these in a table."

# Function to download and upload a PDF
upload_pdf() {
  local doc_url="$1"
  local display_name="$2"

  # Download the PDF
  wget -O "${display_name}.pdf" "${doc_url}"

  local MIME_TYPE=$(file -b --mime-type "${display_name}.pdf")
  local NUM_BYTES=$(wc -c < "${display_name}.pdf")

  echo "MIME_TYPE: ${MIME_TYPE}"
  echo "NUM_BYTES: ${NUM_BYTES}"

  local tmp_header_file=upload-header.tmp

    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d "{'file': {'display_name': '${display_name}'}}" 2> /dev/null

  local upload_url=$(grep -i "x-goog-upload-url: " "${tmp_header_file}" | cut -d" " -f2 | tr -d "\r")
  rm "${tmp_header_file}"

  # Upload the PDF
  curl "${upload_url}" \
    -H "Content-Length: ${NUM_BYTES}" \
    -H "X-Goog-Upload-Offset: 0" \
    -H "X-Goog-Upload-Command: upload, finalize" \
    --data-binary "@${display_name}.pdf" 2> /dev/null > "file_info_${display_name}.json"

  local file_uri=$(jq ".file.uri" "file_info_${display_name}.json")
  echo "file_uri for ${display_name}: ${file_uri}"

  # Clean up the downloaded PDF
  rm "${display_name}.pdf"

  echo "${file_uri}"
}

# Upload the first PDF
file_uri_1=$(upload_pdf "${DOC_URL_1}" "${DISPLAY_NAME_1}")

# Upload the second PDF
file_uri_2=$(upload_pdf "${DOC_URL_2}" "${DISPLAY_NAME_2}")

# Now generate content using both files
curl "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemini-2.0-flash:generateContent?key=$GOOGLE_API_KEY" \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -X POST \
    -d '{
      "contents": [{
        "parts":[
          {"file_data": {"mime_type": "application/pdf", "file_uri": '$file_uri_1'}},
          {"file_data": {"mime_type": "application/pdf", "file_uri": '$file_uri_2'}},
          {"text": "'$PROMPT'"}
        ]
      }]
    }' 2> /dev/null > response.json

cat response.json
echo

jq ".candidates[].content.parts[].text" response.json
