## Technical Architecture

### Document Processing Pipeline

```
PDF/PowerPoint File
    ↓
[Format Normalization] ← .ppt/.pptm → .pptx (LibreOffice)
    ↓
[Preprocessing] ← Speaker notes extraction (PowerPoint only)
    ↓
[Docling Conversion] ← PDF/PowerPoint → Markdown
    ↓
Markdown
    ↓
[DoclingDocument] ← Reconstruct for chunking
    ↓
[SemanticChunker] ← HybridChunker (8000 tokens max)
    ↓
[Custom Serializers] ← ImgTableAnnotationSerializerProvider
    ↓
Contextualized Chunks
```

### Key Components

1. **DocumentConverter** (`document_converter.py`)
   - Format routing
   - PDF/PowerPoint to Markdown conversion
   - OCR configuration management
   - Temp file cleanup

2. **PptxPreprocessor** (`pptx_preprocessor.py`)
   - Speaker notes extraction
   - Notes embedding as text boxes
   - Slide-by-slide processing

3. **ExtractionPipelineV2** (`pipeline.py`)
   - Document processing orchestration
   - Async/sync method wrappers
   - SemanticChunker integration
   - Result aggregation

4. **SemanticChunker** (existing)
   - HybridChunker from docling-core
   - OpenAI tokenizer (8000 token max)
   - ImgTableAnnotationSerializerProvider
   - Metadata preservation

## Known Limitations

1. **PDF Complex Tables**: Documents with complex table structures may take several minutes to process (layout/table detection overhead)

2. **OCR Disabled**: Scanned PDFs with no embedded text will not be processed correctly (trade-off for performance)

3. **PowerPoint Images**: Image descriptions not generated by default (requires explicit configuration)

4. **Legacy Formats**: Requires LibreOffice for .ppt/.pptm conversion

---

## Migration Guide

### For Existing Users

No migration needed. PDF and PowerPoint documents can now be processed alongside existing Excel and Word documents.

### For New Users

1. Install dependencies: `uv sync`
2. Ensure LibreOffice is installed (for legacy formats)
3. Configure environment variables (Azure OpenAI credentials)
4. Start infrastructure: `docker compose up -d`
5. Start API server and Celery worker
6. Upload PDF/PowerPoint documents via API

## Future Enhancements

### Potential Improvements
1. **Opt-in OCR**: Allow users to enable OCR for scanned PDFs on-demand
2. **Image Captioning**: Generate descriptions for images in documents
3. **Enhanced Table Detection**: Improve table structure recognition accuracy
4. **Parallel Processing**: Batch process multiple documents concurrently
5. **Progress Tracking**: Real-time progress updates for long-running PDF processing

### Performance Optimization
1. **Caching**: Cache converted Markdown for repeated processing
2. **Streaming**: Stream large documents to reduce memory usage
3. **GPU Acceleration**: Use GPU for layout detection models
