Trying out Docling for PDF info extraction and it’s surprisingly good! The chunk feature splits PDFs into metadata (labels like headers, paragraphs, tabels etc.) and text (actual content). @tedunderwood.me seems like the pdf problem is close to being solved!

OK I have been messing around with docling ( github.com/docling-proj... ) as a possible thing for our accessibility office and it is EXTREMELY RAD. Handles PDFs like a champ (why can't pandoc??????) *and* has OCR / image description models built in that .... work? They just work? Man.

New tutorial: Build a real RAG system in Java with Quarkus, Docling, pgvector, and a local LLM via Ollama.

This one shows the full pipeline: PDF ingestion → embeddings → retrieval → guardrails → answers.

It’s clean, fast, and enterprise-ready.
