How to extract meaning from charts and tables in PDFs | Weaviate
Sep 1, 2026
Summary
Introduces a new approach to RAG for PDFs that leverages late-interaction multi-vector models to directly embed and retrieve information from charts and tables, bypassing traditional OCR and text chunking. Demonstrates this capability with Weaviate Cloud's drag-and-drop importer and the `multi2multivec-weaviate` module. Provides examples of querying financial documents (NVIDIA earnings) for visual data like revenue trends and charts. Also shows how to integrate this with the Weaviate Query Agent for synthesized answers with citations.
