How to edit, translate and summarise a PDF with AI

Upload the PDF to an AI PDF editor, describe the change in plain words (“change the date on page 1 to 5 October”, “black out every phone number”) and check each page before downloading. To summarise a PDF or ask it questions, attach one with selectable text to an AI chat; scans, compression and conversion to Word need other tools.

Edit a PDF by saying what to change

In a PDF, text sits at fixed positions, so classic editors make you fight small boxes and fonts. With AI it works the other way round: you say what should change, it rewrites that text in place, and everything else stays where it was.

On OrujovAI, open /pdf, drop in a PDF (up to 60 MB) and type the request in the Ask OrujovAI box, or click any text and change it by hand. The Pages panel rotates, deletes, duplicates and inserts pages, and every step can be undone. The file is edited in your browser; only the text of the pages goes to OrujovAI to plan the changes. The editor is free, and the chat takes the same requests.

  1. Keep a copy of the original.
  2. One change per line, with the old and the new wording: “Page 2: replace ‘Baku, 2025’ with ‘Baku, 2026’.”
  3. Page jobs work the same way: “move page 5 to the start”, “delete page 3”, “add page numbers at the bottom”.
  4. Check every page: a longer line may wrap, and a table cell can get tighter.

Fill, sign and black out personal data

Some forms have real fields; in others the lines are only drawn on the page. A good editor fills both, and once the answers are final you lock (flatten) them so nobody changes them by accident.

A drawn or typed signature is fine for everyday paperwork such as a school permission slip, but it is not a legal electronic signature. Under Azerbaijani law, ASAN İmza has the same legal force as a handwritten signature, and state bodies and banks often expect it or ink, so ask the receiver what they accept.

Blacking out needs the most care: in many editors a black box only lies over the text, which stays in the file and can be copied. Real redaction deletes it. On /pdf, Redact removes what is under the box, and if the box covers a picture, that page becomes an image so the hidden part is really gone.

  • Say what to remove: “black out every phone number, ID number and address”.
  • After saving, try to select or search the hidden words. If you find them, they are still there.

Translate a PDF into Azerbaijani, Russian or English

Copying a PDF into a translator loses its headings, tables and page breaks. Translating inside the editor rewrites each block of text where it stands, so the layout survives.

Be explicit: “Translate the whole document into Azerbaijani, formal style with siz, keep names, numbers and dates unchanged.” Russian and Azerbaijani usually run longer than English, so check long lines and tables.

For an embassy, a university or a court, this is a working draft: official papers need a certified translator, as our translation guide explains.

Summarise a PDF and ask it questions

An AI chat can read a PDF with selectable text and answer questions about it. In OrujovAI, attach the PDF in the chat: it reads the text of the first 40 pages in your browser, answers follow-up questions and can put the summary into a Word or PDF file. The Free plan gives 20 messages every 3 hours, with no card.

“Summarise this” gives a generic paragraph, so ask for something specific:

  • “The main argument in five bullet points, with page numbers.”
  • “The key terms, with a one-line definition each.”
  • “Ten questions a teacher could ask about this text.”
  • “Where does the author write about inflation? Quote the sentence.”
  1. Find the quotes in the PDF and check every number: AI can miss a detail in a long document.
  2. Use AI to learn, not to cheat: a summary speeds up reading but does not replace a text you will be examined on, and handing it in as your own work is plagiarism.

Summarise a YouTube lecture or video

A lecture is easier to revise from notes. Many YouTube videos have a transcript: open the description, tap “Show transcript” and paste it into any AI chat for notes or practice questions.

In OrujovAI you can paste the link itself and ask for a summary: it watches the video and returns a short overview, the key points and a card to play it. This is on the Plus plan and above (paid plans are not on sale yet); private, age-restricted or very long videos may not work.

What a PDF editor can't do, and what to use instead

If you came for a converter: an editor changes what a PDF says, not its format.

  • Compressing: use a dedicated PDF compressor.
  • Converting to Word, Excel or JPG: use a converter. A recent version of Microsoft Word can also open a PDF as an editable document, but complex layouts may shift.
  • Scanned PDFs: a scan is a picture with no text inside, so it can't be edited word by word or read as text. Run OCR (text recognition) first, which many scanner apps do, or send clear photos of the pages to a chat.
  • Password-protected PDFs: open the file with its password and save an unprotected copy first.
  • Combining PDFs works on OrujovAI: attach the files in the chat and ask.

Questions

Can I edit the text in a PDF for free?

Yes. On OrujovAI's /pdf you upload the file, describe the change or click the text, and download the result. It is free, and the file is edited in your browser.

Can AI read a scanned PDF?

Not as a document, because a scan holds only pictures of pages. Run OCR first, or send clear photos or screenshots, which an AI chat reads as images.

Is blacking out personal data in a PDF safe?

Only if the text is deleted, not covered. After saving, try to select or search the hidden words; if they appear, the redaction failed.

Can AI summarise a YouTube video?

Yes. Paste the video's transcript into any AI chat, or paste the link into the OrujovAI chat and ask for a summary (Plus plan and above; paid plans are not on sale yet).

Can I convert a PDF to Word with OrujovAI?

No: it edits a PDF and keeps it a PDF. Use a converter or a recent version of Microsoft Word (complex layouts may shift); for the text alone, the chat can make a Word file.
