Error using PDF attachments

[simonw]

Got this with -a filename.pdf:

{'error': {'message': "Invalid value: 'file'. Supported values are: 'input_text', 'input_image', 'output_text', 'refusal', 'input_file', 'computer_screenshot', and 'summary_text'.", 'type': 'invalid_request_error', 'param': 'input[0].content[1].type', 'code': 'invalid_value'}}

Code at fault:

llm-openai-plugin/llm_openai.py

Lines 303 to 312 in 7cf2d76

	if attachment.resolve_type() == "application/pdf":
	if not base64_content:
	base64_content = attachment.base64_content()
	return {
	"type": "file",
	"file": {
	"filename": f"{attachment.id()}.pdf",
	"file_data": f"data:application/pdf;base64,{base64_content}",
	},
	}

This works now:

llm -a https://static.simonwillison.net/static/2025/uplevel-genai-productivity.pdf 'extract all text as markdown'
