PDFs are where knowledge goes to hide.
They're downloaded, renamed, and scattered across drives. They're 40 pages long when your rep needs one sentence. They're version 3 when the team is still sharing version 1.
And they're completely unsearchable in the moment that matters when a prospect asks a detailed product question or a customer wants to know their exact refund policy.
Toocan makes your PDF content as accessible as asking a colleague.
Toocan does not generate answers from its general knowledge. Every response is drawn directly from the PDF content you've uploaded.
Step 1 - Create your Toocan account
Sign up at toocan.app and set up your workspace.
Step 2 - Upload your PDFs
From your Toocan dashboard, go to Knowledge Sources → PDFs. Upload the files you want Toocan to index. Drag and drop single files or upload in bulk.
Step 3 - Toocan indexes your documents
Toocan processes and indexes your PDFs automatically. Most documents are ready to query within minutes.
Step 4 - Your team starts getting answers
Invite your team. They can immediately begin asking questions and receiving sourced, document-grounded answers no training required.
No engineering work. No complex configuration. No change to how your team already communicates.
What types of PDFs does Toocan support?
Toocan works with standard text-based PDFs, including files exported from Google Docs, Microsoft Word, InDesign, and most standard PDF generators. Scanned image-only PDFs without a text layer may have limited support.
How many PDFs can I upload?
The number of documents available depends on your Toocan plan. You can connect multiple PDFs and build a comprehensive knowledge library across document types.
What happens when I update a document?
Upload the new version to Toocan and remove or replace the outdated file. Toocan re-indexes the updated content so your team always works from current information.
Can I control which team members can access which documents?
Yes. Toocan lets you manage access at the team level so sensitive documents are only available to the right people.
Is my document content secure?
Your PDFs are processed and indexed securely within Toocan's infrastructure. Your document content is never used to train external models or shared outside your workspace.
Can Toocan handle long, complex documents?
Yes. Toocan is built to process lengthy, dense documents and return the specific answer your team needs.
Can I use PDFs alongside other knowledge sources?
Absolutely. You can combine PDFs with Notion pages, websites, and other connected content so Toocan draws from your full knowledge base when answering questions.
Toocan also integrates with Notion, websites, and other internal knowledge repositories. See all integrations
