Copilot OneDrive and Teams Integration useless for PDFs of scanned documents
Hi,
I have this ubiquitous Copilot button everywhere in OneDrive, Teams, SharePoint, you name it. But Everytime I use the suggested „Summarise this file“ button of a PDF document that contains scanned pages Copilot complains that the images are very low resolution and nothing meaningful can be extracted. But when I let Copilot analyse the exact same file in the pure Copilot view everything works fine.
After some lengthy conversations with Copilot it admits, that it only access the complete file when the Copilot view is used. In all other views using Copilot only works on the preview images that are created of the file when uploaded. That explains why the images to analyse are of a too low resolution to do OCR and why on some files only the first page gets processed.
Why is Copilot integrated in that way? I expect Copilot to always work on the original file for any request I do. Especially when Copilot is promoted everywhere and I’m constantly nagged to get a summary or FAQ of a selected file. The way it currently works would be better removed or -better- just redirect with the selected file into Copilot view.
Cheers
