Summarize PDF documents in JavaScript

Extract key information from PDF files programmatically using large language models (LLM) in JavaScript. Aspose.Words for Node.js via .NET reads your PDF document and produces a concise summary that captures the essential meaning of the original text.

How to summarize a PDF file in JavaScript

  • Load the PDF file into a Document object
  • Choose an AI model — OpenAI (GPT-4o), Google (Gemini), or Claude
  • Call the Summarize method with optional length settings
  • Save the resulting summary as DOCX, PDF, or any supported format

The following example shows how to summarize a PDF document in JavaScript:

Example code in JavaScript for summarizing a PDF
Select the target format from the list
Run code
npm install @aspose/words
Copy
const aw = require('@aspose/words');

const doc = new aw.Document("Document.docx");
const apiKey = process.env.API_KEY;

// Use OpenAI or Google generative language models.
const model = aw.AI.AiModel.createGpt4OMini();
model.setApiKey(apiKey);

const options = new aw.AI.SummarizeOptions();
options.summaryLength = aw.AI.SummaryLength.Short;

const summary = model.summarize(doc, options);
summary.save("Output.pdf");
const aw = require('@aspose/words');

const doc = new aw.Document("Document.docx");
// Pass an empty string if the self-hosted model does not require an API key.
const model = new CustomAiModel("my-model-24b", "https://your-server.com/v1");
model.setApiKey("");

const options = new aw.AI.SummarizeOptions();
options.summaryLength = aw.AI.SummaryLength.Short;

const summary = model.summarize(doc, options);
summary.save("Output.pdf");

class CustomAiModel extends aw.AI.OpenAiModel {
    constructor(name, url) {
        super(name);
        this._url = url;
    }
    get url() {
        return this._url;
    }
}
Run code
