How AI is used

CloudPDF is a management service designed to help users display and secure PDF documents on their own websites. Instead of providing a simple download link, it provides a customizable viewer that can be embedded using a JavaScript snippet.

The tool is built for users ranging from non-technical marketers and sales representatives to developers. It supports workflows such as requiring visitor information before granting document access or tracking which parts of a document are being read.

Buyers should consider whether they need basic embedding or features like document analytics and custom domain sharing, as these are tied to different pricing tiers. It also includes an AI-powered chat feature for interacting with the contents of uploaded PDFs.
