How it works
- 1
Install BergPDF Pro
The same fast native app you know from BergPDF.
- 2
Activate it
Enter your licence. The AI assistant is ready straight away, with no API key to find or paste.
- 3
Ask, summarise, translate
Press a button and the answer appears in the app, with page references and highlighted quotes.
What the AI assistant can do
PDF Copilot
Summarise a document, ask questions and get answers with page references and verified, highlighted quotes.
Translate in place
Replace every paragraph with its translation in a copy that opens in a new tab. Your original stays untouched.
Explain a term
Select a word or phrase, right-click and ask for an explanation without leaving the page.
Your text, your decision
AI is always optional. Nothing is sent until you press an AI button, and only the text needed for that request. With BergPDF Pro it goes to the BergPDF AI service instead of to a provider you configure yourself. Details on how that data is handled will be published in the privacy policy at launch.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between BergPDF Free and BergPDF Pro?
The editor is the same. BergPDF Free is open source and uses your own API key (or a local model) for the optional AI assistant. BergPDF Pro includes the AI assistant, so there is no key and no setup.
Do I need an API key with BergPDF Pro?
No. The AI assistant is included, so you do not need an account with an AI provider.
Will BergPDF Free stay free?
Yes. BergPDF Free remains free and open source, and its AI works with your own key or a local model.
Where does my text go when I use AI in BergPDF Pro?
Nothing is sent until you press an AI button, and only the text needed for that request. In BergPDF Pro it is sent to the BergPDF AI service. How that data is handled will be described in the privacy policy at launch.
When will BergPDF Pro be available?
It is in preparation and not available yet. Join the waitlist, or follow the project on GitHub, to hear when it launches.
