In plain words

You have a long PDF - a 300-page datasheet, a 5000-page reference manual, a policy, a report - and a question about it. Given the whole PDF, an AI often answers slowly, misses details, mixes up tables and cannot show where its answer comes from.

HTPD prepares the document for the AI. The converter turns the PDF into one .htpd file: the same text, word for word, cut into the document's own chapters and sections, with the page of every paragraph, the tables as rows, and the figures as pictures. The AI then reads only the few sections a question needs and answers from the exact text - with the page, so you can check it.

What you get

What it means for you

Exact text

Values, part numbers and register names exactly as in the PDF. Nothing is summarised or rewritten.

A page for every fact

Every answer can be checked in the original document in seconds.

Honest answers

When the document does not hold the answer, HTPD says so instead of guessing.

Tables and figures

Tables stay rows with their columns; diagrams and photos are kept as pictures with their caption.

Scanned pages too

Text in scans and pictures is read by OCR (free Tesseract), marked so you know.

Private and free

Runs on your own computer. No GPU, no account, no cloud. Open source.
