I'd like to send the OpenAI's API, the text from various PDF's. Specifically, the Summarize for a 2nd grader or the TL;DR summarization API's.

I can extract the text from PDF's using PyMuPDF and prepare the OpenAI prompt.

Question: How best to prepare the prompt when the token count is longer than the allowed 2049?

• Do I just truncate the text?
• Or is there a way to sample the text to "compress" it to lose key points?
