How does pdf4vllm detect text corruption?

The server auto-detects text corruption in PDFs and automatically switches to image mode when text is unreadable or corrupted. The exact detection algorithm is not detailed in the registry, so check the project repository for implementation specifics.

What's the difference between text mode and image mode?

Text mode extracts readable text from PDFs; image mode converts PDF pages to images for processing by vision LLMs. The server automatically chooses the best mode based on whether text corruption is detected.

How do I install and run pdf4vllm-mcp?

Install via `uvx pdf4vllm-mcp@1.0.2`. The server runs over stdio transport, so it integrates directly with MCP-compatible clients and LLM applications.

Can I force text mode or image mode, or is it always automatic?

The registry indicates auto-detection is the default behavior. For control over mode selection, check the project documentation or GitHub repository for configuration options.

What file formats does pdf4vllm support?

The server is designed for PDF processing. For support of other formats or detailed format specifications, refer to the project repository.
