Introduction

In this article, we will discuss how to use the Chat CPT file uploader extension to Read Microsoft Word files and PDF files. Many users have requested this feature, so we will walk You through the process step by step. First, we will need two separate libraries to make this work: the Mammoth.js library for reading office files and the pdf.js library for reading PDF files. We will provide the files and the prompt in the description below for you to follow along. Let's dive into the details on how to implement this feature.

1. Getting Started

Before we begin, let's take a look at the folder structure. We have a Word file and a PDF file that contain the same article. These files will serve as our test files throughout the process. We will also have a prompt that provides the necessary code snippets to be used.

2. Required Libraries

To make the plugin work, we need to include the mammoth.js library for reading Word files and the pdf.js library for reading PDF files. These libraries will allow us to handle different file formats seamlessly. Make sure to download and include these libraries in your project folder.

3. Reading Word Files

To enable the Chat CPT file uploader extension to read Word files, we need to utilize the mammoth.js library. This library provides functions to handle Word files and extract their content. We will provide a code snippet that demonstrates how to use the mammoth.js library to read Word files effectively.

4. Reading PDF Files

Similarly, to read PDF files, we need the pdf.js library. This library allows us to parse and extract the content from PDF files. We will provide a code snippet that showcases the usage of the pdf.js library to read PDF files smoothly.

5. Testing Word and PDF Files

Now that we have implemented the necessary code to read both Word and PDF files, let's test the functionality. We will open up our Website and click on the button provided by the Chat CPT file uploader extension. We will then select a Word document and a PDF file to see if the plugin successfully reads and extracts their content.

6. Creating the Manifest

To ensure that our Chrome plugin works correctly, we need to Create a manifest.json file. This file serves as the director or manager of our plugin, orchestrating the different scripts and libraries. We will define the necessary permissions and include the required libraries in the manifest file.

7. Chrome Extensions Setup

To load our plugin into Chrome, we will navigate to the extensions page and click on "Load unpacked." We will then choose our project folder. If there are any errors or missing files, we will address them by correcting the file paths or including the required resources.

8. Troubleshooting Word Files

If you encounter errors while trying to read Word files, there might be an issue with the mammoth.js library or the provided code snippet. We will discuss common troubleshooting steps to resolve these errors and ensure seamless reading of Word files.

9. Alternative Approach

If the mammoth.js library and the provided code snippet still do not work, we can try an alternative approach. We will ask Chat CPT for an updated script or code snippet that addresses the issues with handling Word files. We will replace the existing code with the new version and test the functionality again.

10. Conclusion

In conclusion, we have successfully implemented the Chat CPT file uploader extension to read Microsoft Word files and PDF files. This feature allows users to input different documents into the Chatbot, enhancing its capabilities and making it more versatile. We have discussed the necessary libraries, code snippets, and troubleshooting steps to ensure the smooth functioning of the plugin.
