This feature imports a PDF, and AI reads the content to auto-generate an SOP. You can reuse existing manuals or work standards by converting them to PDF and importing them—Dive will transform them into SOPs. Each page is split into one step, and the title, description, tips, cautions, and safety information are extracted from each page.

What is Create from PDF

This is a creation method where AI builds an SOP based on each page of an imported PDF. The generated content includes:

One page = one step automatically split
Title, description, tips, cautions, and safety information for each step
Title and overview for the entire PDF
Each step displays the corresponding page from the original PDF

The original text is split without rewriting or summarizing—the content is transferred as-is.

Prerequisites (Supported File Format)

Only PDF format files can be imported. If you are working with Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, please first convert them to PDF using each application's "Export as PDF" or "Save as PDF" feature before uploading.

Note that PDFs with selectable text (PDFs containing text information) are more accurate than PDFs that are only scanned images.

How to Create

When creating a new SOP

When creating a new SOP, select [Create from PDF]
Upload a PDF file, or select an existing PDF from the asset library
Configure the AI options (see "Configure AI Options" below)
AI processes the file and generates steps for each page
A draft is created, so review and edit the content, then publish

When adding steps to an existing draft

You can also import a PDF and add steps from the SOP editing screen. Use this when you want to insert PDF content into an existing SOP.

Configure AI Options

When importing, you can configure options to improve generation accuracy.

PDF Description: Briefly telling AI what kind of PDF it is greatly improves accuracy of technical terms, title formatting, and description
Recognition Language: Selecting the language of text in the PDF improves accuracy of formatting and supplementary generation
Text style: You can choose the ending and tone of the generated step descriptions
- Imperative (do~): Standard for SOPs
- Polite (please do~): For customer-facing materials and service procedures
- Suggestive (let's do~): For training and educational purposes

Review and edit the generated SOP

When processing is complete, a draft is created. Each generated step can be edited just like a regular SOP.

Edit title, description, tips, cautions, and safety information
Delete unnecessary steps and reorder them
Add video, images, or AR to steps

Review the content and edit as needed before publishing. When editing again, you can access the target SOP from the 「Drafts / Approvals List」.

Tips for successful creation

Enter a PDF description: Just adding a brief note like "Inspection procedure for 〇〇 equipment" will improve accuracy
One theme per page: Since one page = one step, PDFs work best when pages are organized by theme rather than cramming too much content on a single page
Use a PDF with text information: A PDF with selectable text is more accurate than a PDF with only scanned images

Notes and Limitations

Only PDF format can be imported. Office documents must be converted to PDF beforehand
When using a PDF from the asset library, the SOP cannot be created until AI processing is complete. In that case, 「Run AI processing」 in the asset library first, then try again
