scanned pdfs

The scanned pdfs tag on WindowsForum.com covers developments where Microsoft 365 Copilot Declarative Agents can now read and ground answers in scanned PDFs and image-based documents from SharePoint. This addresses a previous limitation for organizations with digitized operational records stored as images rather than searchable Office files. The capability is listed as generally available worldwide for standard multi-tenant tenants via Microsoft 365 Roadmap item 550514, with a general-availability date of February 2026. A key practical detail is that the capability applies to newly created Declarative Agents, so existing agents may not automatically benefit without adjustment. Discussions focus on the implications for document search and AI-assisted workflows in enterprise environments.
