## Problem
When uploading `.md` files with `parser=naive` and `delimiter="\n"`,
markdown headers (e.g., `## Quick Travel`) become separate chunks with
very short content (16-18 characters). This causes retrieval issues:
when the header is matched, the corresponding body text is not included
in the chunk.

## Summary
Closes#14869.
Adds VLM-based semantic descriptions to **image chunks produced by the
MinerU parser**, closing a long-standing parity gap with the deepdoc
parser's `VisionFigureParser`. A maintainer flagged this in #13342
("We may add the VLM enhancement to MinerU parser as well") and an
earlier proposal exists in #13824; this PR lands the change end-to-end
inside the existing parser plumbing.
## Why
Today the MinerU parser returns image chunks containing only the
native `image_caption` and `image_footnote` strings from MinerU's
JSON. When neither is present (or when both are sparse), the chunk
carries effectively no searchable content for the figure and
retrieval misses it entirely. Users who configured a local VLM
(reporter's case: Gemma-4-31B) had to post-process MinerU's
`tmp/*.json` themselves.
The deepdoc parser already solves this via
[`VisionFigureParser`](deepdoc/parser/figure_parser.py): when the
tenant has an `IMAGE2TEXT` model configured, each figure gets a
semantic description merged into its chunk. This PR brings the same
behavior to MinerU.
## What changed
### `deepdoc/parser/mineru_parser.py`
- **New method `_enhance_images_with_vlm(outputs, vision_model,
callback=None)`** —
collects every `IMAGE` block with a readable `img_path`, runs
`rag.app.picture.vision_llm_chunk` in a 10-worker
`ThreadPoolExecutor` using the existing
`vision_llm_figure_describe_prompt`, and writes the result back as
`vlm_description`. Per-image failures are logged and skipped — they
never abort the run.
- **`_transfer_to_sections` (IMAGE branch)** — folds
`vlm_description` into the section text alongside caption +
footnote, so the description becomes part of the chunk and is
searchable / retrievable.
- **`parse_pdf`** — after `_read_output`, calls
`_enhance_images_with_vlm(outputs, vision_model, callback=callback)`
when a `vision_model` kwarg is supplied. Wrapped in `try / except`
so a VLM outage cannot break parsing.
### `rag/app/naive.py` (`by_mineru`)
After successfully resolving the MinerU OCR parser, also resolves the
tenant's default `LLMType.IMAGE2TEXT` model via
`get_tenant_default_model_by_type`, wraps it in an `LLMBundle`, and
injects it as `kwargs["vision_model"]` before delegating to
`parse_pdf`.
## Behavior
| Tenant config | Behavior |
|---|---|
| `IMAGE2TEXT` model configured | MinerU image chunks contain `caption +
footnote + VLM description`. Retrieval against figures now actually
works. |
| No `IMAGE2TEXT` model configured | Exact same output as today (caption
+ footnote only). Lookup fails silently with an info log; no error, no
regression. |
| VLM call fails for a single image | That image silently falls back to
caption + footnote; other images proceed. |
| Caller already passes `vision_model` in kwargs | We don't override it
— `if "vision_model" not in kwargs` guards the lookup. |

## Problem
When using DeepDOC to parse large PDFs (over 1000 pages), the parser
silently truncated processing at 300 pages due to a hardcoded default
`page_to=299` in `RAGFlowPdfParser.__images__()`. This caused:
- **Errors** on pages beyond the limit
- **Poor image quality** as the parser attempted to compensate with
missing page data
- **Inconsistent chunk splitting** between full PDF imports and partial
imports
Additionally, the codebase scattered magic numbers (`299`, `600`,
`10000`, `100000`, `100000000`, `10000000000`, `10**9`) across 22 files
as sentinel values for "parse all pages", making future maintenance
error-prone.
## Root Cause
```python
# deepdoc/parser/pdf_parser.py (before)
def __images__(self, fnm, zoomin=3, page_from=0, page_to=299, callback=None):
# Only the first 300 pages were rendered; everything beyond was silently dropped
```
While most callers in `rag/app/*.py` correctly passed `to_page=100000`,
the base class `RAGFlowPdfParser.__call__()` and `parse_into_bboxes()`
invoked `__images__` **without** forwarding `page_from`/`page_to`,
falling back to the restrictive default of 299.
## Solution
### 1. Define constants in `common/constants.py`
```python
MAXIMUM_PAGE_NUMBER = 100000 # Used by the parsing layer
MAXIMUM_TASK_PAGE_NUMBER = MAXIMUM_PAGE_NUMBER * 1000 # Used by the task/DB layer
```
### 2. Replace all hardcoded sentinel values
| Layer | Files Changed | Old Values | New Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Deepdoc parsers** | `pdf_parser.py`, `mineru_parser.py`,
`docling_parser.py`, `opendataloader_parser.py`, `paddleocr_parser.py`,
`docx_parser.py` | `299`, `600`, `10**9`, `100000000` |
`MAXIMUM_PAGE_NUMBER` |
| **Chunk parsers** | `naive.py`, `book.py`, `qa.py`, `one.py`,
`manual.py`, `paper.py`, `presentation.py`, `laws.py`, `resume.py`,
`email.py`, `table.py` | `100000`, `10000`, `10000000000` |
`MAXIMUM_PAGE_NUMBER` |
| **Task/DB layer** | `db_models.py`, `task_service.py`,
`document_service.py`, `file_service.py` | `100000000` |
`MAXIMUM_TASK_PAGE_NUMBER` |
### 3. Fix `parse_into_bboxes()` missing parameters
Added `from_page`/`to_page` parameters to `parse_into_bboxes()` so that
the `rag/flow/parser/parser.py` DeepDOC path no longer falls back to the
restrictive default.

## Summary
PDF files often contain a bookmark/outline tree (table of contents built
into the file by the authoring tool). RAGFlow's `pdf_parser.outlines`
already extracts these `(title, depth)` tuples via pypdf, but they are
used ephemerally during chunking (`manual` parser uses them for
hierarchy detection) and then discarded.
This PR persists the outline as `doc.meta_fields["outline"]` — a JSON
array of `{"title": str, "depth": int}` objects — so downstream features
can use the structural information.
### Why this matters
- **Complementary to `toc_extraction`** — the existing `toc_extraction`
feature uses LLM calls to generate a TOC and only works for the `naive`
parser. The raw PDF outline is free (already extracted by pypdf), works
for all parsers, and captures the author's original document structure.
- **Document navigation** — frontends can render a clickable TOC from
the outline
- **Entity extraction** — the outline provides a structural map for
identifying document sections and key topics
- **Search result context** — knowing which section a chunk belongs to
helps users evaluate relevance
### Changes
| File | Change | LOC |
|------|--------|-----|
| `rag/app/naive.py` | Attach `pdf_parser.outlines` as `__outline__` on
first chunk dict | ~7 |
| `rag/app/manual.py` | Same for the manual parser | ~5 |
| `rag/svr/task_executor.py` | Extract `__outline__`, persist via
`DocMetadataService.update_document_metadata()` | ~12 |
### Design decisions
- **Transient key pattern**: The outline is passed from parser →
task_executor via `__outline__` on the first chunk dict, then removed
before indexing. This follows the same pattern as `metadata_obj` for
LLM-generated metadata.
- **No schema changes**: Uses the existing `meta_fields` JSON column on
the document table.
- **Graceful degradation**: If a PDF has no outline (common for scanned
docs), nothing is stored. If persistence fails, it logs a warning and
continues — parsing is not interrupted.
### Backward compatibility
- **Fully backward compatible** — no existing fields, behavior, or
schemas changed
- PDFs without outlines are unaffected
- Existing `meta_fields` data is preserved (merged, not overwritten)
## Test plan
- [ ] Parse a PDF with bookmarks (e.g. any multi-chapter document),
verify `meta_fields["outline"]` is populated
- [ ] Parse a PDF without bookmarks, verify no errors and no outline key
in meta_fields
- [ ] Verify existing `meta_fields` data is preserved (not overwritten)
when outline is added
- [ ] Verify `manual` parser also persists outlines
- [ ] Verify outline JSON structure: `[{"title": "Chapter 1", "depth":
0}, ...]`

(reading) order and parsed using the existing HTML parser. No new
dependencies required.
### Type of change
- [x] New Feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
To check this parser manually:
```python
uv run --python 3.12 python -c "
from deepdoc.parser import EpubParser
with open('$HOME/some_epub_book.epub', 'rb') as f:
data = f.read()
sections = EpubParser()(None, binary=data, chunk_token_num=512)

```
### What problem does this PR solve?
This PR adds support for parsing PDFs through an external Docling
server, so RAGFlow can connect to remote `docling serve` deployments
instead of relying only on local in-process Docling.
It addresses the feature request in
[#13426](https://github.com/infiniflow/ragflow/issues/13426) and aligns
with the external-server usage pattern already used by MinerU.
### Type of change
- [ ] Bug Fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
- [x] New Feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
- [x] Documentation Update
- [ ] Refactoring
- [ ] Performance Improvement
- [ ] Other (please describe):
### What is changed?
- Add external Docling server support in `DoclingParser`:
- Use `DOCLING_SERVER_URL` to enable remote parsing mode.
- Try `POST /v1/convert/source` first, and fallback to
`/v1alpha/convert/source`.
- Keep existing local Docling behavior when `DOCLING_SERVER_URL` is not
set.
- Wire Docling env settings into parser invocation paths:
- `rag/app/naive.py`
- `rag/flow/parser/parser.py`
- Add Docling env hints in constants and update docs:
- `docs/guides/dataset/select_pdf_parser.md`
- `docs/guides/agent/agent_component_reference/parser.md`
- `docs/faq.mdx`
### Why this approach?
This keeps the change focused on one issue and one capability (external
Docling connectivity), without introducing unrelated provider-model
plumbing.
### Validation
- Static checks:
- `python -m py_compile` on changed Python files
- `python -m ruff check` on changed Python files
- Functional checks:
- Remote v1 endpoint path works
- v1alpha fallback works
- Local Docling path remains available when server URL is unset

##### Fixes [#13426](https://github.com/infiniflow/ragflow/issues/13426)
## Summary
This PR is the direct successor to the previous `docx` lazy-loading
implementation. It addresses the technical debt intentionally left out
in the last PR by fully migrating the `qa` and `manual` parsing
strategies to the new lazy-loading model.
Additionally, this PR comprehensively refactors the underlying `docx`
parsing pipeline to eliminate significant code redundancy and introduces
robust fallback mechanisms to handle completely corrupted image streams
safely.
## What's Changed
* **Centralized Abstraction (`docx_parser.py`)**: Moved the
`get_picture` extraction logic up to the `RAGFlowDocxParser` base class.
Previously, `naive`, `qa`, and `manual` parsers maintained separate,
redundant copies of this method. All downstream strategies now natively
gather raw blobs and return `LazyDocxImage` objects automatically.
* **Robust Corrupted Image Fallback (`docx_parser.py`)**: Handled edge
cases where `python-docx` encounters critically malformed magic headers.
Implemented an explicit `try-except` structure that safely intercepts
`UnrecognizedImageError` (and similar exceptions) and seamlessly falls
back to retrieving the raw binary via `getattr(related_part, "blob",
None)`, preventing parser crashes on damaged documents.
* **Legacy Code & Redundancy Purge**:
* Removed the duplicate `get_picture` methods from `naive.py`, `qa.py`,
and `manual.py`.
* Removed the standalone, immediate-decoding `concat_img` method in
`manual.py`. It has been completely replaced by the globally unified,
lazy-loading-compatible `rag.nlp.concat_img`.
* Cleaned up unused legacy imports (e.g., `PIL.Image`, docx exception
packages) across all updated strategy files.
## Scope
To keep this PR focused, I have restricted these changes strictly to the
unification of `docx` extraction logic and the lazy-load migration of
`qa` and `manual`.
## Validation & Testing
I've tested this to ensure no regressions and validated the fallback
logic:
* **Output Consistency**: Compared identical `.docx` inputs using `qa`
and `manual` strategies before and after this branch: chunk counts,
extracted text, table HTML, and attached images match perfectly.
* **Memory Footprint Drop**: Confirmed a noticeable drop in peak memory
usage when processing image-dense documents through the `qa` and
`manual` pipelines, bringing them up to parity with the `naive`
strategy's performance gains.
## Breaking Changes
* None.

### What problem does this PR solve?
Fix: Correct PDF chunking parameter name in naive #13325
### Type of change
- [x] Bug Fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
## Summary
When using MinerU, docling, TCADP, or paddleocr as the PDF parser with
the General (naive) chunk method, the user-configured `chunk_token_num`
is **unconditionally overwritten to 0** at
[rag/app/naive.py#L858-L859](https://github.com/infiniflow/ragflow/blob/main/rag/app/naive.py#L858-L859),
effectively disabling chunk merging regardless of what the user sets in
the UI.
### Problem
A user sets `chunk_token_num = 2048` in the dataset configuration UI,
expecting small parser blocks to be merged into larger chunks. However,
this line:
```python
if name in ["tcadp", "docling", "mineru", "paddleocr"]:
parser_config["chunk_token_num"] = 0
```
silently overrides the user's setting. As a result, every MinerU output
block becomes its own chunk. For short documents (e.g. a 3-page PDF fund
factsheet parsed by MinerU), this produces **47 tiny chunks** — some as
small as 11 characters (`"July 2025"`) or 15 characters (`"CIES
Eligible"`).
This severely degrades retrieval quality: vector embeddings of such
short fragments have minimal semantic value, and keyword search produces
excessive noise.
### Fix
Only apply the `chunk_token_num = 0` override when the user has **not**
explicitly configured a positive value:
```python
if name in ["tcadp", "docling", "mineru", "paddleocr"]:
if int(parser_config.get("chunk_token_num", 0)) <= 0:
parser_config["chunk_token_num"] = 0
```
This preserves the original default behavior (no merging) while
respecting the user's explicit configuration.
### Before / After (MinerU, 3-page PDF, chunk_token_num=2048)
| | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Chunks produced | 47 | ~8 (merged by token limit) |
| Smallest chunk | 11 chars | ~500 chars |
| User setting respected | No | Yes |
## Test plan
- [ ] Parse a PDF with MinerU and `chunk_token_num = 2048` → verify
chunks are merged up to token limit
- [ ] Parse a PDF with MinerU and `chunk_token_num = 0` (or default) →
verify original behavior (no merging)
- [ ] Parse a PDF with DeepDOC parser → verify no change in behavior
(not affected by this code path)
- [ ] Repeat with docling/paddleocr if available
### What problem does this PR solve?
This PR adds comprehensive **Right-to-Left (RTL) language support**,
primarily targeting Arabic and other RTL scripts (Hebrew, Persian, Urdu,
etc.).
Previously, RTL content had multiple rendering issues:
- Incorrect sentence splitting for Arabic punctuation in citation logic
- Misaligned text in chat messages and markdown components
- Improper positioning of blockquotes and “think” sections
- Incorrect table alignment
- Citation placement ambiguity in RTL prompts
- UI layout inconsistencies when mixing LTR and RTL text
This PR introduces backend and frontend improvements to properly detect,
render, and style RTL content while preserving existing LTR behavior.
#### Backend
- Updated sentence boundary regex in `rag/nlp/search.py` to include
Arabic punctuation:
- `،` (comma)
- `؛` (semicolon)
- `؟` (question mark)
- `۔` (Arabic full stop)
- Ensures citation insertion works correctly in RTL sentences.
- Updated citation prompt instructions to clarify citation placement
rules for RTL languages.
#### Frontend
- Introduced a new utility: `text-direction.ts`
- Detects text direction based on Unicode ranges.
- Supports Arabic, Hebrew, Syriac, Thaana, and related scripts.
- Provides `getDirAttribute()` for automatic `dir` assignment.
- Applied dynamic `dir` attributes across:
- Markdown rendering
- Chat messages
- Search results
- Tables
- Hover cards and reference popovers
- Added proper RTL styling in LESS:
- Text alignment adjustments
- Blockquote border flipping
- Section indentation correction
- Table direction switching
- Use of `<bdi>` for figure labels to prevent bidirectional conflicts
#### DevOps / Environment
- Added Windows backend launch script with retry handling.
- Updated dependency metadata.
- Adjusted development-only React debugging behavior.

**Summary**
This PR tackles a significant memory bottleneck when processing
image-heavy Word documents. Previously, our pipeline eagerly decoded
DOCX images into `PIL.Image` objects, which caused high peak memory
usage. To solve this, I've introduced a **lazy-loading approach**:
images are now stored as raw blobs and only decoded exactly when and
where they are consumed.
This successfully reduces the memory footprint while keeping the parsing
output completely identical to before.
**What's Changed**
Instead of a dry file-by-file list, here is the logical breakdown of the
updates:
* **The Core Abstraction (`lazy_image.py`)**: Introduced `LazyDocxImage`
along with helper APIs to handle lazy decoding, image-type checks, and
NumPy compatibility. It also supports `.close()` and detached PIL access
to ensure safe lifecycle management and prevent memory leaks.
* **Pipeline Integration (`naive.py`, `figure_parser.py`, etc.)**:
Updated the general DOCX picture extraction to return these new lazy
images. Downstream consumers (like the figure/VLM flow and base64
encoding paths) now decode images right at the use site using detached
PIL instances, avoiding shared-instance side effects.
* **Compatibility Hooks (`operators.py`, `book.py`, etc.)**: Added
necessary compatibility conversions so these lazy images flow smoothly
through existing merging, filtering, and presentation steps without
breaking.
**Scope & What is Intentionally Left Out**
To keep this PR focused, I have restricted these changes strictly to the
**general Word pipeline** and its downstream consumers.
The `QA` and `manual` Word parsing pipelines are explicitly **not
modified** in this PR. They can be safely migrated to this new lazy-load
model in a subsequent, standalone PR.
**Design Considerations**
I briefly considered adding image compression during processing, but
decided against it to avoid any potential quality degradation in the
derived outputs. I also held off on a massive pipeline re-architecture
to avoid overly invasive changes right now.
**Validation & Testing**
I've tested this to ensure no regressions:
* Compared identical DOCX inputs before and after this branch: chunk
counts, extracted text, table HTML, and image descriptions match
perfectly.
* **Confirmed a noticeable drop in peak memory usage when processing
image-dense documents.** For a 30MB Word document containing 243 1080p
screenshots, memory consumption is reduced by approximately 1.5GB.
**Breaking Changes**
None.
### What problem does this PR solve?
Fixes#12604 - DOCX files containing hyperlinks to internal bookmarks
(e.g., `#_文档目录`) cause a `KeyError` during parsing:
```
KeyError: "There is no item named 'word/#_文档目录' in the archive"
```
This happens because python-docx incorrectly tries to read internal
bookmark references as files from the ZIP archive. Internal bookmarks
are relationship targets starting with `#` and are not actual files.
This PR extends the existing `load_from_xml_v2` workaround (which
already handles `NULL` targets) to also skip relationship targets
starting with `#`.

### What problem does this PR solve?
**Fixes #8706** - `InfinityException: TOO_MANY_CONNECTIONS` when running
multiple task executor workers
### Problem Description
When running RAGFlow with 8-16 task executor workers, most workers fail
to start properly. Checking logs revealed that workers were
stuck/hanging during Infinity connection initialization - only 1-2
workers would successfully register in Redis while the rest remained
blocked.
### Root Cause
The Infinity SDK `ConnectionPool` pre-allocates all connections in
`__init__`. With the default `max_size=32` and multiple workers (e.g.,
16), this creates 16×32=512 connections immediately on startup,
exceeding Infinity's default 128 connection limit. Workers hang while
waiting for connections that can never be established.
### Changes
1. **Prevent Infinity connection storm** (`rag/utils/infinity_conn.py`,
`rag/svr/task_executor.py`)
- Reduced ConnectionPool `max_size` from 32 to 4 (sufficient since
operations are synchronous)
- Added staggered startup delay (2s per worker) to spread connection
initialization
2. **Handle None children_delimiter** (`rag/app/naive.py`)
- Use `or ""` to handle explicitly set None values from parser config
3. **MinerU parser robustness** (`deepdoc/parser/mineru_parser.py`)
- Use `.get()` for optional output fields that may be missing
- Fix DISCARDED block handling: change `pass` to `continue` to skip
discarded blocks entirely
### Why `max_size=4` is sufficient
| Workers | Pool Size | Total Connections | Infinity Limit |
|---------|-----------|-------------------|----------------|
| 16 | 32 | 512 | 128 ❌ |
| 16 | 4 | 64 | 128 ✅ |
| 32 | 4 | 128 | 128 ✅ |
- All RAGFlow operations are synchronous: `get_conn()` → operation →
`release_conn()`
- No parallel `docStoreConn` operations in the codebase
- Maximum 1-2 concurrent connections needed per worker; 4 provides
safety margin
### MinerU DISCARDED block bug
When MinerU returns blocks with `type: "discarded"` (headers, footers,
watermarks, page numbers, artifacts), the previous code used `pass`
which left the `section` variable undefined, causing:
- **UnboundLocalError** if DISCARDED is the first block
- **Duplicate content** if DISCARDED follows another block (stale value
from previous iteration)
**Root cause confirmed via MinerU source code:**
From
[`mineru/utils/enum_class.py`](https://github.com/opendatalab/MinerU/blob/main/mineru/utils/enum_class.py#L14):
```python
class BlockType:
DISCARDED = 'discarded'
# VLM 2.5+ also has: HEADER, FOOTER, PAGE_NUMBER, ASIDE_TEXT, PAGE_FOOTNOTE
```
Per [MinerU
documentation](https://opendatalab.github.io/MinerU/reference/output_files/),
discarded blocks contain content that should be filtered out for clean
text extraction.
**Fix:** Changed `pass` to `continue` to skip discarded blocks entirely.
### Testing
- Verified all 16 workers now register successfully in Redis
- All workers heartbeating correctly
- Document parsing works as expected
- MinerU parsing with DISCARDED blocks no longer crashes

This PR enhances the MinerU document parser with additional
configuration options, giving users more control over PDF parsing
behavior and improving support for multilingual documents.
## Changes
### Backend (`deepdoc/parser/mineru_parser.py`)
- Added configurable parsing options:
- **Parse Method**: `auto`, `txt`, or `ocr` — allows users to choose the
extraction strategy
- **Formula Recognition**: Toggle for enabling/disabling formula
extraction (useful to disable for Cyrillic documents where it may cause
issues)
- **Table Recognition**: Toggle for enabling/disabling table extraction
- Added language code mapping (`LANGUAGE_TO_MINERU_MAP`) to translate
RAGFlow language settings to MinerU-compatible language codes for better
OCR accuracy
- Improved parser configuration handling to pass these options through
the processing pipeline
### Frontend (`web/`)
- Created new `MinerUOptionsFormField` component that conditionally
renders when MinerU is selected as the layout recognition engine
- Added UI controls for:
- Parse method selection (dropdown)
- Formula recognition toggle (switch)
- Table recognition toggle (switch)
- Added i18n translations for English and Chinese
- Integrated the options into both the dataset creation dialog and
dataset settings page
### Integration
- Updated `rag/app/naive.py` to forward MinerU options to the parser
- Updated task service to handle the new configuration parameters
## Why
MinerU is a powerful document parser, but the default settings don't
work well for all document types. This PR allows users to:
1. Choose the best parsing method for their documents
2. Disable formula recognition for Cyrillic/non-Latin scripts where it
causes issues
3. Control table extraction based on document needs
4. Benefit from automatic language detection for better OCR results
## Testing
- [x] Tested MinerU parsing with different parse methods
- [x] Verified UI renders correctly when MinerU is selected/deselected
- [x] Confirmed settings persist correctly in dataset configuration

### What problem does this PR solve?
Add support for MinerU http-client/server method.
To use MinerU with vLLM server:
1. Set up a vLLM server running MinerU:
```bash
mineru-vllm-server --port 30000
```
2. Configure the following environment variables:
- `MINERU_EXECUTABLE=/ragflow/uv_tools/.venv/bin/mineru` (or the path to
your MinerU executable)
- `MINERU_BACKEND="vlm-http-client"`
- `MINERU_SERVER_URL="http://your-vllm-server-ip:30000"`
3. Follow the standard MinerU setup steps as described above.
With this configuration, RAGFlow will connect to your vLLM server to
perform document parsing, which can significantly improve parsing
performance for complex documents while reducing the resource
requirements on your RAGFlow server.
