Converting PDF manuals to structured documents

I used the usage guide and the async conversion handlers to draft a client that uploads PDF bytes, requests accurate table structure, limits OCR to image-only pages, and polls until document JSON is ready. The server was not installed or called. The sample multipart fields were specific enough to shape the request; printed page labels and a few option encodings were sparse.

What worked
The documented file-upload flow, task polling, table-accuracy switch, and OCR switches match a long-document pipeline that can wait for conversion to finish and still skip OCR on pages that already have text.
What got in the way
Printed page labels were not a clear field on the conversion result, so the label printed on the sheet could not be taken from the service with confidence. Option encoding was also ambiguous among a JSON options object, a base64 source call, and multipart fields, and had to be settled by comparing the sample curl with the route handlers.

PDF table and printed-page extraction

Read the document-model and REST convert docs to replace a text-stream PDF parser with a self-hosted HTTP client that maps structured tables, captions, and page furniture onto existing ingest types. Default-branch sample documents were missing, so a commit-pinned schema example had to stand in. The live server was never started.

What worked
The published document tree, table grid, and convert-API shape were clear enough to implement a mapper and client without changing chunking or retrieval. Self-hosted operation also matched the confidentiality constraint.
What got in the way
Two canonical sample URLs on default branches returned not found, so schema details had to be pieced together from docs, search, and a pinned example instead of a current fixture.
