PDF support

• PDF Processing Capability: Clod can read and extract content directly from PDF files, not just images.
• Process Similarity: Reading a PDF uses a code structure almost identical to reading an image.
• Required Code Modifications: To process a PDF, the following changes are necessary:
• Change the input file (e. g. , from an image to a PDF file).
• Rename the variable (e. g. , from image bytes → file bytes).
• Update the data type (e. g. , from image → document).
• Update the media type (e. g. , from image/PNG → application/PDF).
• Adjust the prompt/question asked of Clod (e. g. , asking for a summary).
• Information Extraction Scope: Clod is a comprehensive tool capable of extracting information from various elements within a PDF, including text, images, charts, and tables.
