PDF Import
One of 38Hub's most powerful features — drop a PDF and get a dozen scored ideas in seconds.
How It Works
- Go to Sources from the sidebar
- Click "Upload PDF"
- Select or drag-drop a PDF file (max 20MB)
- AI reads the document and extracts up to 10-20 distinct content ideas
- Each idea gets a title, description, category, and AI score
- All extracted ideas appear in your Inbox under "From Sources"
What Makes Good Source PDFs
- Research papers and reports — full of data points and insights
- Books and ebooks — each chapter can spawn multiple ideas
- Meeting notes and transcripts — conversations often contain hidden content gold
- Course materials — educational content is easy to repurpose
- Industry whitepapers — trends and analysis that your audience cares about
Tips
- The AI reads up to 15,000 characters from the PDF, so longer documents get truncated. For best results, use focused documents rather than 200-page books.
- Set up your Content DNA first — the AI will extract ideas that match YOUR content pillars, not generic topics.
- Review and edit extracted ideas — AI is great at finding topics but you know your audience best.
