Document Node

Learn the basics of document nodes

The Document Node brings PDFs onto your FLORA canvas as a first-class citizen. Drop in a research paper, a brand book, a script, or a slide deck — every page becomes browsable and ready to feed the rest of your workflow.

Capabilities

• Drop a PDF, get a node. Drag any PDF onto the canvas (or pick one from the Add menu → Upload). FLORA renders the first page instantly via an in-browser preview while the document uploads in the background.
• Page-by-page navigation. Multi-page PDFs gain a thumbnail carousel below the node. Click any page to jump to it, or use the arrow keys when the node is selected.
• Full-screen reader. Open the document in a focused viewer to read full pages, select text, and right-click any selection to spawn it as a new text node.
• Document and image outputs. Connect a document node to a text node to pass the full document as context, or to an image node to use the currently-open page as visual input.
• Drag-out pages. Drag any page thumbnail from the carousel onto the canvas to extract it as a new single-page document node — useful for isolating one figure or one slide and wiring it independently.
• Sharing and library. Document nodes participate in share links, view-only sessions, and the Asset Library just like any other media node.

Connections

• Text nodes — the full document is passed as context to the downstream model.
• Image nodes — the currently-open page is used as visual input. Navigate pages on the document node to change which page is sent downstream.
• Batch nodes — process every page in parallel through whatever pipeline you wire downstream.

Even more connectivity is coming soon! If you have thoughts, comments, or suggestions, please let us know.
