# PDF Reader
Analyze PDF files using the `file_read` tool which natively supports PDF rendering.
## How file_read handles PDFs
- `file_read` with a `.pdf` path renders pages as images for vision analysis
- Parameters: `offset` = start page (0-based), `limit` = max pages (default 5)
- Each page is rendered at 144 DPI, resized to 1568px max dimension
- Returns image blocks that you can analyze with vision
## Workflow
1. **Read the PDF**: Call `file_read` with the PDF path. It will render pages as images automatically.
