# Create a knowledge base with the PDFs from the data/pdfs directory
knowledge_base = PDFKnowledgeBase(
    path="data/pdfs",
    vector_db=LanceDb(uri=db_url),
    reader=PDFImageReader(chunk=True),
)
# Load the knowledge base
knowledge_base.load(recreate=False)

# Create an assistant with the knowledge base
assistant = Assistant(
    knowledge_base=knowledge_base,
    add_references_to_prompt=True,
)

this looks like a 1 line change in pdf.py; reader should of type "reader"

https://github.com/phidatahq/phidata/blob/9b2653f2c5ff77c4babf44ac324f5568ee69f856/phi/knowledge/pdf.py#L11

class PDFKnowledgeBase(AssistantKnowledge):
    path: Union[str, Path]
    reader: Reader = PDFReader()

Hi Team. Do we have an update on when we can get a new release with this change?

[ysolanky]

@sridharaiyer PR will be out shortly and most likely we will be releasing a new version by EOD

The PR is out @sridharaiyer. You are welcome to test
