@helai78, As shown in documentation, Supported text formats are noted here. Gemini API won't support PDF file, as application/pdf MIME type is not supported yet. Alternatively, you can use AI Studio to work with pdf files using Gemini. Thank you!

Hello @helai78 , Currently, there's no direct support for uploading PDF files, but we can work around this by converting the PDF to images and extracting text separately. https://github.com/google-gemini/cookbook/blob/main/quickstarts/PDF_Files.ipynb
