Amazon Q Business is a fully managed, generative-AI powered assistant that enhances employee productivity by answering questions, providing summaries, generating content, and completing tasks based on customer’s enterprise data. Across various industries, users want to derive insights from document types such as invoices, tax statements, which are frequently in scanned PDF format. Starting today, Amazon Q Business users can get answers from text content in scanned PDFs, and images embedded in PDF documents.
Prior to today, customers who wanted to derive insights from scanned PDFs and images in PDF documents would first have to do preprocessing to extract the text from these documents using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) followed by ingestion into Amazon Q Business. Starting today, customers can directly feed these documents into Q Business, and search and act on them without the need for preprocessing of any kind. With this launch, customers can simplify the process of building their own generative AI assistants using Q Business APIs or web applications.
This feature is available in all AWS regions where Amazon Q for Business is available. To learn more about the support for Scanned PDFs and embedded images, visit the documentation page or refer to the blog Improve productivity when processing scanned PDFs using Amazon Q Business .

Today, AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is announcing improvements that simplify how customers manage OpenID Connect (OIDC) identity providers (IdPs) in their AWS accounts. These improvements include increased availability when handling federated user logins through existing IdPs and a streamlined process for provisioning new OIDC IdPs.
IAM now secures communication with OIDC IdPs by trusting the root certificate authority (CA) anchoring the IdP’s SSL/TLS server certificate. This aligns with current industry standards and removes the need for customers to update certificate thumbprints when rotating SSL/TLS certificates. For customers using less common root CAs or a self-signed SSL/TLS server certificate, IAM will continue to rely on the certificate thumbprint set in your IdP configuration. This change automatically applies to new and existing OIDC IdPs, and no action is required from customers.
Additionally, when customers configure a new OIDC IdP using either the IAM console or API/CLI, customers no longer need to supply the IdP’s SSL/TLS server certificate thumbprint as IAM will automatically retrieve it. This thumbprint is maintained with the IdP configuration, but is not used if the IdP relies on a trusted root CA.
