On the stable version of Chrome v150, you can summarize PDFs with one click, and it happens through Gemini.

Information about this feature was posted by @Leopeva64 on X, including a video demo. You can view the attached post below.

Google has quietly rolled out the button to summarize PDFs with Gemini in Chrome Stable (v150). I first spotted this button almost five months ago, and now it is finally available in the Stable version:https://t.co/vnrMBDD5U1 pic.twitter.com/MrkHtGW75q

The option appears next to the PDF annotation toolbar, and it directly gives you a summary of the PDF immediately after you click it. You don’t have to press enter again. This is different from the Ask Gemini feature, which is located at the top right. It was in the beta version of Chrome just a few days ago.

In the video, the Chrome version in which this feature is available is v150.0.7871.47. For those unaware, Google recently kicked off the stable rollout of v150, and it brings a lot of new features. More on that here. Following this, there were major security updates to Chrome just yesterday.

Interestingly, I’ve updated Chrome to v150, and on the latest stable version, this button to summarize PDFs isn’t present yet. It’s probably a staged rollout, so not everyone will get it at the same time.

It’s worth noting that this feature is different from the PDF summary feature present in the Google Drive PDF viewer on the web. That works on any web browser, so if you don’t use Chrome, that feature practically does the same thing. You can even ask Gemini follow-up questions.

Until the “Summarize with Gemini” button reaches everyone, you also have the option to just use the “Ask Gemini” button at the top right. You can ask Gemini to summarize the page via that.

It appears that Google is paying a lot of attention to PDFs recently, since it’s not just the web version of Chrome that’s getting PDF improvements. Recently, we covered a story where annotation now takes place within the Chrome Android app. Now, this native PDF viewer will also work in Incognito mode soon. More on that below.

Chrome's PDF viewer on Android will soon also work in Incognito tabs. Currently, in Chrome Stable, when you tap on a link to a PDF in Incognito mode, you get a prompt to download it, but in Chrome Canary, the PDF now opens directly inside the Incognito tabhttps://t.co/sE6q54rAgr pic.twitter.com/WJ1fBbkVUx

In other Chrome news, you might be able to keep the ‘AI Mode’ shortcut even if you ditch Google Search. We covered that here.
