-## ๐ Troubleshooting

+
+๐ Claude Desktop Integration
+
+```json
+{
+ "mcpServers": {
+ "pdf-tools": {
+ "command": "uv",
+ "args": ["run", "mcp-pdf-tools"],
+ "cwd": "/path/to/mcp-pdf-tools"
+ },
+ "office-tools": {
+ "command": "mcp-office-tools"

+
+*Unified document processing across all formats!*

+
+๐ง Development Environment
-### OCR Issues
```bash
-# Install language packs
-sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr-fra tesseract-ocr-deu
-
-# macOS
-brew install tesseract-lang
-```
-
-### Table Extraction Issues
-```bash
-# Install Java (required for Tabula)
-sudo apt-get install default-jre-headless
-
-# Install Ghostscript (required for Camelot)
-sudo apt-get install ghostscript
-```
-
-### Memory Issues with Large PDFs
-- Process specific page ranges: `pages="1,2,3"`
-- Use streaming capabilities: `method="pdfplumber"`
-- Consider splitting large documents first
-
-## ๐ Architecture Deep-Dive
-
-### Intelligent Method Selection
-```python
-# Automatic fallback system
-async def extract_text_with_fallback(pdf_path: str):
- try:
- return await extract_with_pymupdf(pdf_path) # Fast, good for most PDFs
- except Exception:
- try:
- return await extract_with_pdfplumber(pdf_path) # Layout-aware
- except Exception:
- return await extract_with_pypdf(pdf_path) # Maximum compatibility
-```
-
-### User Experience Design
-```python
-# Before: Confusing zero-based indexing
-pages=[0, 1, 2] # First 3 pages - not intuitive!
-
-# After: Natural 1-based indexing
-pages=[1, 2, 3] # First 3 pages - makes perfect sense!
-
-# Internal conversion happens automatically
-def parse_pages_parameter(pages):
- # Convert 1-based user input to 0-based internal representation
- return [max(0, p - 1) for p in user_pages]
-```
