Restrictions and Precautions for Use
To ensure optimal use, special attention should be paid to the following:
Technical constraints
- Document formatting requirements: Must be a text-based PDF (scanned image PDFs cannot be processed)
- Chinese language support: Although it supports Chinese conversion, but the path containing Chinese may report an error.
- network dependency: network connection must be maintained to call the OpenAI API
usage norms
- API Key Security: Do not hard-code the key in the script, it is recommended to pass it in via environment variable
- Large file handling: Batch conversion is recommended for documents over 50 pages.
- Validation of results: Special elements such as math formulas should be checked for accuracy after the first conversion
Solutions to Common Problems
| problematic phenomenon | inspection step |
|---|---|
| Conversion result is garbled | Check if the PDF is encrypted or contains special fonts |
| Misalignment of form recognition | Try adjusting the form detection parameter in main.py |
| API call failure | Confirm key validity and balance status |
When encountering persistent issues, it is recommended to go to the GitHub project page to submit an issue and provide a test case.
