This project demonstrates advanced document processing capabilities using AI, essential for legal, financial, and research applications.

Document Processing Setup

Configure your document processing pipeline to handle various file formats and extract meaningful information from uploaded documents.

1 Configure Document Upload

Set up document upload capabilities in your Dify application to accept and process various file formats including PDFs, Word documents, and text files.

Supported Formats:
- PDF documents (.pdf)
- Microsoft Word documents (.docx, .doc)
- Plain text files (.txt)
- Rich text format (.rtf)
- Markdown files (.md)

Processing Configuration:
1. Enable file upload in your application settings
2. Set maximum file size limits (recommended: 10MB per file)
3. Configure document chunking for optimal processing
4. Enable OCR for scanned documents if needed

Quality Optimization:
- Ensure documents are well-formatted and readable
- Test with sample documents of each supported type
- Monitor processing time and adjust chunk sizes accordingly

Tips:
  • Start with smaller documents to test processing capabilities
  • Use clear, well-structured documents for best results
  • Consider document security and privacy requirements
