Way back in March of this year, I took a look at using Google's Gemini APIs to analyze PDF documents ("Using PDF Content with Google Gemini"). At the time, the Gemini API didn't support PDF documents, so I made use of our (Adobe) PDF Extract service to get the text content out from the document. This "worked" but was possibly less than ideal as my "glom all the text together" approach didn't really represent the PDF well. The PDF Extract API returns information about text context (like if it is a header for example), but my method ignored that. I'm happy to share that Gemini now supports PDF files natively. Let's take a look at how this works.

Greetings, programs. This is just a quick note about my <Code><Br> show. Usually the show goes on every two weeks, but with the holiday this week I pushed it off to September 17th. You can find the details and RSVP here: "Parks and Recreation - Using Leaflet and the NPS"

As I continue to play with, and really freaking enjoy Leaflet, I thought it would be interesting to show a demo of using CSV data with it. This also coincides with an interesting dataset I got from the Data is Plural newsletter, a collection of datasets covering just about any topic you can imagine.

For my American readers, I hope you are able to enjoy a relaxing three day weekend. I've got big plans to do absolutely nothing and do quite a bit of it. My September is going to be busy so I'd like to try my best not to think about that for the next few days. Let's get to the links!

Last week I shared my initial experiences with Leaflet and I thought I'd share a small demo I built with it - a general purpose GeoJSON viewer.

Way back in June (wait, that's only two months ago?) I wrote up a blog post showing how to use the AWS SDK for Signed URLs: "Quick example using AWS Node.js SDK V3 for Signed URLs". The idea for this was to cover a very specific set of functionality I needed to use along with Adobe's Firefly Services. Specifically my needs are:

If you missed my <Code><Br> episode earlier this week you missed (imo) a great episode. I'll share a link to the video at the end, but I spent the session raving about how great the Leaflet JavaScript library is for maps. I had it on my list to look into for a few months now and while having a layover recently I took the time to dig into it. I was - blown away.
