Add support to pdf files in mistral

DEV TMS AI Studio

Mistral already has support to send pdf files, accessing the service with API key.

I insert this line in the TTMSMCPCloudAI.BuildPostData method of TMS.MCP.CloudAI unit, and it works:

aiftPDF: AUserContentParts := AUserContentParts + ',{"type":"document_url","document_url":"data:application/pdf;base64,' + FFiles[i].GetData + '"}';

The workaround works, I can extract data from invoices using it, but the problem is that Mistral measures as consumed 65.0000 input tokens, for a pdf file that in Claude are measured 4,000 tokens.
Maybe it's a problem of the coding I've used, which might not correspond to the official Mistral specifications.

Can you please add official support for pdf files in Mistral?.

Thanks.

I couldn't find documentation on token usage from Mistral for PDF files submitted this way.
We can add this method meanwhile but investigate better approaches for a future version.
