[Bug]: the app doesn't retrieve information from chatpdf about pdf-summarizer-alfred HOT 9 CLOSED

Chris I really appreciate your time and concern, I am writing a book about evolution, epigenetic and socialisation
more than 3000 pdf in bookends and Zotero so I really enjoy using your app and read about all the knowledge you write down. I have also some publications about Adverse childhood experiences and I ran a little team for research in those topics
kindly and thanks a lot.

Unfortunately not, this workflow is only to get a quick-and-dirty summary.

To chat with the PDF, you can simply use the ChatPDF website?

There seems to be a problem with the PDF. Could you attach the PDF, so I can have a look?

there is no attachment. Please do not use email to respond to github issues, since they are quite buggy.

The issue is that your filenames include ,. Commas are treated as enumeration, so ChatPDF thinks you are trying to upload multiple files, one Varian, another B. J., another Weber, etc. And since those files do not exist, ChatPDF fails.

That's an issue on ChatPDF's side, and unfortunately there is nothing I can do about that on my end. Simply removing the commas from the filenames will fix the issue though.

By the way, there are actually many apps that have problems with commas (or other special characters) in filenames, so it is actually good practice to only have letters, digits, and the -_. characters in your filenames, since this also avoids annoying issues elsewhere.
