+# Gemini API: Read a PDF
+
+This notebook demonstrates how you can convert a PDF file so that it can be read by the Gemini API.
+
+## Setup
+### Install SDK and set-up the client
+
+### API Key Configuration
+
+To ensure security, avoid hardcoding the API key in frontend code. Instead, set it as an environment variable on the server or local machine.
+
+When using the Gemini API client libraries, the key will be automatically detected if set as either `GEMINI_API_KEY` or `GOOGLE_API_KEY`. If both are set, `GOOGLE_API_KEY` takes precedence.
+
+For instructions on setting environment variables across different operating systems, refer to the official documentation: [Set API Key as Environment Variable](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/api-key#set-api-env-var)
+
+In code, the key can then be accessed as:
+
+```js
+ai = new GoogleGenAI({ apiKey: process.env.GEMINI_API_KEY });
+```
+*/
+
+// [CODE STARTS]
+module = await import("https://esm.sh/@google/genai@1.4.0");
+GoogleGenAI = module.GoogleGenAI;
+ai = new GoogleGenAI({ apiKey: process.env.GEMINI_API_KEY });
+// [CODE ENDS]

+
+/* Output Sample
+
+Here's a summary of the provided content in a bulleted list:
+
+* **Objective:** To enable smooth, parametric editing of material properties (e.g., color, shininess, transparency) of objects within any photograph, while preserving photorealism, object shape, and lighting.
+* **Problem Addressed:** Existing tools for photorealistic material editing often require expert skill and struggle with disambiguating material from shape/lighting, leading to changes in geometry when only material is desired.
+* **Methodology:**
+ * Leverages pre-trained text-to-image (T2I) models, specifically by fine-tuning **Stable Diffusion 1.5**.
+ * A **synthetic dataset** was created using traditional computer graphics and physically based rendering (PBR) of 100 3D household objects.
+ * This dataset involves systematically varying single material attributes (roughness, metallic, albedo, transparency) across a defined "edit strength" scalar (-1 to +1), while keeping object shape, lighting, and camera angle constant.
+ * The fine-tuned model learns to apply these material edits to a "context image" given an instruction and the desired edit strength.
+* **Key Capabilities & Results:**
+ * Successfully changes object appearance (e.g., making an object metallic or transparent) while retaining its original geometric shape and image lighting.
+ * Realistically fills in hidden background structures and generates accurate caustic effects (refracted light) for transparent objects.
+ * Demonstrates strong generalization from the synthetic training data to real-world images.
+ * A user study found the method's outputs to be significantly more photorealistic (69.6% vs. 30.4%) and preferred overall (70.2% vs. 29.8%) compared to InstructPix2Pix.
+* **Applications:**
+ * Facilitates design mock-ups (e.g., visualizing room changes, new product designs).
+ * Enables 3D consistent material edits when combined with Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) for synthesizing new views of a scene.
+* **Publication:** The method is detailed in the paper "Alchemist: Parametric Control of Material Properties with Diffusion Models," published at CVPR 2024.

+In addition, take a look at how the Gemini model responds when you ask questions about the images within the PDF.
+*/
+
+// [CODE STARTS]
+response = await ai.models.generateContent({
+ model: MODEL_ID,
+ contents: [
+ {
+ fileData: {
+ fileUri: pdfFile.uri,
+ mimeType: "application/pdf"
+ }
+ },
+ {
+ text: "Can you explain the images on the first page of the document?"
+ }
+ ]
+});
+
+console.log(response.text);
+// [CODE ENDS]
+
+/* Output Sample
+
+The first page of the document primarily features a large visual demonstration of the method's capabilities, titled "Smoothly editing material properties of objects with text-to-image models and synthetic data."
+
+This main image block is structured as a series of **Input** (original image) and **Output** (edited image) pairs, showcasing the model's ability to parametrically edit material properties based on text commands.
+
+Here's a breakdown of each example:
+
+1. **Teapot (Roughness Edit):**
+ * **Command:** `"change the roughness of the teapot."`
+ * **Input:** A smooth, somewhat shiny brown teapot.
+ * **Output:** The same teapot, but its surface now appears significantly rougher, giving it a matte or stony texture while retaining its color and shape.
+
+2. **Cupid Statue (Transparency Edit):**
+ * **Command:** `"change the transparency of the cupid statue."`
+ * **Input:** A solid, opaque white cupid statue.
+ * **Output:** The cupid statue becomes translucent, allowing the background (a wall) to be clearly visible through its form. The shape and lighting remain consistent, but the material is now see-through.
+
+3. **Pot (Metallic Edit):**
+ * **Command:** `"change the metallic of the pot."`
+ * **Input:** A matte, dark grey/black pot.
+ * **Output:** The pot transforms into a highly metallic object, exhibiting strong reflections and a shiny, polished appearance, akin to polished metal.
+
+4. **Buddha Statue (Albedo/Base Color Edit):**
+ * **Command:** `"change the albedo of the Buddha statue."`
+ * **Input:** A golden-colored Buddha statue.
+ * **Output:** The Buddha statue's base color (albedo) changes to a lighter, almost white shade, while still maintaining its metallic quality and the way light reflects off its surface.
+
+In essence, these images serve as a primary visual summary of the paper's core contribution: demonstrating how the model can precisely and smoothly alter specific material attributes (like roughness, transparency, metallicity, and base color) of objects in an image, solely based on a text prompt, while preserving the object's underlying geometry and the scene's lighting conditions.

+## Learning more
+
+The File API lets you upload a variety of multimodal MIME types, including images, audio, and video formats. The File API handles inputs that can be used to generate content with `model.generateContent` or `model.streamGenerateContent`.
+
+The File API accepts files under 2GB in size and can store up to 20GB of files per project. Files last for 2 days and cannot be downloaded from the API.
+
+* Learn more about prompting with [media files](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/file-prompting-strategies) in the docs, including the supported formats and maximum length.
+* Learn more about to extract structured outputs from PDFs in the [Structured outputs on invoices and forms](https://github.com/google-gemini/cookbook/blob/main/examples/Pdf_structured_outputs_on_invoices_and_forms.ipynb) example.
