I’ve got three PDFs that aren’t being used properly. They work in Claude directly. The response within the editor don’t being to match what I get in the Claude UI.
The PDFs are dense with images, but again, I’m getting the desired behavior there.

@pwh yes it could be very different. What are you trying to build?
A fairly simple reference agent that will pull from various data sources and types to provide info to nonprofit staff members. I want to set it up for them to access without trying to explain a Claude login.
I’m using the pickaxe KB to simulate the data environment, but the PDFs are image heavy layered beasts, so I wondered if I’m wasting my time trying to use them. Other KB elements work fine, including simpler PDFs.
But again to be clear, I use the same files in the Claude project without issue.
Got it.
If you really can’t get the result you want from the Pickaxe knowledge base you can still use an agent built in Pickaxe that connects to an external knowledge base through an action (or an MCP server now).
Yeah I probably should just focus on that. New to setting up data connections so was putting it off lol. TY!
