Important Notes
Preprocessing options : By default, the API enables document preprocessing (unwarping and orientation classification). For flat, well oriented images (screenshots, properly scanned documents), you can disable preprocessing for faster results:
Keep preprocessing enabled when:
The input is a photo of a curved or folded document
The document has significant perspective distortion
Orientation is uncertain (rotated 90/180/270 degrees)
Display complete results : Always show the full extracted content to users. Do not truncate with "..." unless content exceeds 10,000 characters. When multiple pages are processed, summarize if needed but provide complete results when explicitly requested.
Handle errors gracefully : When the CLI returns an error, inform the user of the specific issue rather than silently failing or falling back to your own vision capabilities. Common errors:
Authentication: PADDLEOCR ACCESS TOKEN invalid or missing
Quota: API rate limit exceeded
No content detected: Image may be blank or contain no text
