Not offered here — answering questions about a PDF needs a language model
About Chat with PDF — Free Online Tool
You cannot put questions to a document on this site. Reading a file and answering from it takes a language model, and none runs here.
The task splits in two. Locating the passage that bears on a question is mechanical and could be done locally; composing the answer is not, because an answer is rarely a sentence that already sits in the document — it is usually several of them combined, or a number read off a table. Returning the nearest-looking paragraph and calling it the answer would present half the job as the whole of it, which is why the tool stops instead.
The entry would permit one file of up to 25 MB, but no file is ever asked for: this explanation stands where the upload area would be, so the contract or report you had ready is never opened.
PDF Summarizer to see which sentences a document leans on, PDF to Text Converter to pull the whole text layer out and search it yourself, Split PDF to isolate the section that matters, and a language model elsewhere for the questions.

When to use it
Use this page to understand the limitation. The PDF Summarizer does extractive summarising locally — it selects sentences that are already in your document rather than writing new ones.
How it works
Document question answering retrieves the relevant passage and then composes an answer from it. The retrieval part is mechanical; the composing part needs a model.
Extractive is not the same as answering
Selecting the most representative sentences from a document is something a browser can do honestly. Answering a specific question about it is not, because the answer is rarely a sentence that already exists.
