I'm using my Azure OpenAI API key to do a 'Completion' task (e.g., Q&A).

It works fine when I add my prompt as a text, but I was wondering if it could refer to a PDF file in my Azure blob storage?

    Behrouz Currently, the prompt input does not accept a document as input. It uses text as input to tokenize and pass to the API, so if you are planning to use a PDF document you need to extract the text from the document which needs to be passed as input to prompt and then use the API. With accurate prompt engineering you should be able to efficiently get the result from your model and with fine tuning the model it should further improve the response.

    To summarize, PDF file cannot be passed as direct input to the prompt as it is currently not supported.
