+# Technical Design: PDF Layout Restoration and Preservation
+
+## Context
+
+### Background
+The current PDF generation system loses critical layout information during the conversion process. Despite successfully extracting images, tables, and styled text in both OCR and Direct tracks, none of this information makes it to the final PDF output due to:
+
+1. **Empty implementations**: Image saving functions are stubs
+2. **Path mismatches**: Saved paths don't match expected lookup keys
+3. **Fake data dependencies**: Table rendering relies on non-existent image files
+4. **Format degradation**: Rich formatting is reduced to plain text blocks
+
+### Current Issues
+
+#### Issue 1: OCR Track Image Loss
+```python
+# backend/app/services/pp_structure_enhanced.py
+def _save_image(self, img_data, element_id: str, result_dir: Path):
+    """Save image data to file"""
+    # TODO: Implement image saving
+    pass  # Lines 262, 414 - NEVER SAVES ANYTHING!
+```
+Result: `img_path` from PP-Structure is ignored, no image files created.
+
+#### Issue 2: Direct Track Path Mismatch
+```python
+# Saves as:
+element.content["saved_path"] = f"imgs/{element_id}.png"  # line 745
+
+# But converter looks for:
+image_path = content.get("path")  # line 180 - WRONG KEY!
+```
+Result: Direct track images are saved but never found.
+
+#### Issue 3: Table Rendering Failure
+```python
+# Creates fake reference:
+images_metadata.append({
+    "path": f"table_{element.element_id}.png",  # DOESN'T EXIST
+    "bbox": element.bbox
+})
+
+# Then tries to find it:
+table_image = next((img for img in images_metadata
+                   if "table" in img.get("path", "")), None)
+if not table_image:
+    return  # ALWAYS HAPPENS - NO RENDERING!
+```
+
+#### Issue 4: Text Style Loss
+```python
+# Has rich data:
+StyleInfo(font='Arial', size=12, flags=BOLD|ITALIC, color='#000080')
+
+# But only uses:
+c.drawString(x, y, text)  # No font, size, or style applied!
+```
+
+### Constraints
+- Must maintain backward compatibility with existing API
+- Cannot break current OCR/Direct track separation
+- Should work within existing UnifiedDocument model
+- Must handle both track types appropriately
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+### Goals
+1. **Restore image rendering**: Save and correctly reference all images
+2. **Fix table layout**: Render tables using actual bbox data
+3. **Preserve text formatting**: Apply fonts, sizes, colors, and styles
+4. **Track-specific optimization**: Different rendering for OCR vs Direct
+5. **Maintain positioning**: Accurate spatial layout preservation
+
+### Non-Goals
+- Rewriting entire PDF generation system
+- Changing UnifiedDocument structure
+- Modifying extraction engines
+- Supporting complex vector graphics
+- Interactive PDF features (forms, annotations)
+
+## Decisions
+
+### Decision 1: Fix Image Handling Pipeline
+
+**What**: Implement actual image saving and correct path resolution
+
+**Implementation**:
+```python
+# pp_structure_enhanced.py
+def _save_image(self, img_data, element_id: str, result_dir: Path):
+    """Save image data to file"""
+    img_dir = result_dir / "imgs"
+    img_dir.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
+
+    if isinstance(img_data, (str, Path)):
+        # Copy existing file
+        src_path = Path(img_data)
+        dst_path = img_dir / f"{element_id}.png"
+        shutil.copy2(src_path, dst_path)
+    else:
+        # Save image data
+        dst_path = img_dir / f"{element_id}.png"
+        Image.fromarray(img_data).save(dst_path)
+
+    return f"imgs/{element_id}.png"  # Relative path
+```
+
+**Path Resolution**:
+```python
+# pdf_generator_service.py - convert_unified_document_to_ocr_data
+def _get_image_path(element):
+    """Get image path with fallback logic"""
+    content = element.content
+
+    # Try multiple path locations
+    for key in ["saved_path", "path", "image_path"]:
+        if isinstance(content, dict) and key in content:
+            return content[key]
+
+    # Check metadata
+    if hasattr(element, 'metadata') and element.metadata:
+        return element.metadata.get('path')
+
+    return None
+```
+
+### Decision 2: Direct Table Bbox Usage
+
+**What**: Use table element's own bbox instead of fake image references
+
+**Current Problem**:
+```python
+# Creates fake image that doesn't exist
+images_metadata.append({"path": f"table_{id}.png", "bbox": bbox})
+# Later fails to find it and skips rendering
+```
+
+**Solution**:
+```python
+def draw_table_region(self, c, table_element, page_width, page_height):
+    """Draw table using its own bbox"""
+    # Get bbox directly from element
+    bbox = table_element.get("bbox")
+    if not bbox:
+        # Fallback to polygon
+        bbox_polygon = table_element.get("bbox_polygon")
+        if bbox_polygon:
+            bbox = self._polygon_to_bbox(bbox_polygon)
+
+    if not bbox:
+        logger.warning(f"No bbox for table {table_element.get('element_id')}")
+        return
+
+    # Use bbox to position and render table
+    x, y, width, height = self._normalize_bbox(bbox, page_width, page_height)
+    self._render_table_html(c, table_element.get("content"), x, y, width, height)
+```
+
+### Decision 3: Track-Specific Rendering
+
+**What**: Different rendering approaches based on processing track
+
+**Implementation Strategy**:
+```python
+def generate_from_unified_document(self, unified_doc, output_path):
+    """Generate PDF with track-specific rendering"""
+
+    track = unified_doc.metadata.processing_track
+
+    if track == "direct":
+        return self._generate_direct_track_pdf(unified_doc, output_path)
+    else:  # OCR track
+        return self._generate_ocr_track_pdf(unified_doc, output_path)
+
+def _generate_direct_track_pdf(self, unified_doc, output_path):
+    """Rich rendering for direct track"""
+    # Preserve:
+    # - Font families, sizes, weights
+    # - Text colors and backgrounds
+    # - Precise positioning
+    # - Line breaks and paragraph spacing
+
+def _generate_ocr_track_pdf(self, unified_doc, output_path):
+    """Simplified rendering for OCR track"""
+    # Best effort with:
+    # - Detected layout regions
+    # - Estimated font sizes
+    # - Basic positioning
+```
+
+### Decision 4: Style Preservation System
+
+**What**: Apply StyleInfo to text rendering
+
+**Text Rendering Enhancement**:
+```python
+def _apply_text_style(self, c, style_info):
+    """Apply text styling from StyleInfo"""
+    if not style_info:
+        return
+
+    # Font selection
+    font_name = self._map_font(style_info.font)
+    if style_info.flags:
+        if style_info.flags & BOLD and style_info.flags & ITALIC:
+            font_name = f"{font_name}-BoldOblique"
+        elif style_info.flags & BOLD:
+            font_name = f"{font_name}-Bold"
+        elif style_info.flags & ITALIC:
+            font_name = f"{font_name}-Oblique"
+
+    # Apply font and size
+    try:
+        c.setFont(font_name, style_info.size or 12)
+    except:
+        c.setFont("Helvetica", style_info.size or 12)
+
+    # Apply color
+    if style_info.color:
+        r, g, b = self._parse_color(style_info.color)
+        c.setFillColorRGB(r, g, b)
+
+def draw_text_region_enhanced(self, c, element, page_width, page_height):
+    """Enhanced text rendering with style preservation"""
+    # Apply style
+    if hasattr(element, 'style') and element.style:
+        self._apply_text_style(c, element.style)
+
+    # Render with line breaks
+    text_lines = element.content.split('\n')
+    for line in text_lines:
+        c.drawString(x, y, line)
+        y -= line_height
+```
+
+## Implementation Phases
+
+### Phase 1: Critical Fixes (Immediate)
+1. Implement `_save_image()` in pp_structure_enhanced.py
+2. Fix path resolution in converter
+3. Fix table bbox usage
+4. Test with sample documents
+
+### Phase 2: Basic Style Preservation (Week 1)
+1. Implement style application for Direct track
+2. Add font mapping system
+3. Handle text colors
+4. Preserve line breaks
+
+### Phase 3: Advanced Layout (Week 2)
+1. Implement span-level rendering
+2. Add paragraph alignment
+3. Handle text indentation
+4. Preserve list formatting
+
+### Phase 4: Optimization (Week 3)
+1. Cache font metrics
+2. Optimize image handling
+3. Batch rendering operations
+4. Performance testing
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+### Risk 1: Font Availability
+**Risk**: System fonts may not match document fonts
+**Mitigation**: Font mapping table with fallbacks
+```python
+FONT_MAPPING = {
+    'Arial': 'Helvetica',
+    'Times New Roman': 'Times-Roman',
+    'Courier New': 'Courier',
+    # ... more mappings
+}
+```
+
+### Risk 2: Complex Layouts
+**Risk**: Some layouts too complex to preserve perfectly
+**Mitigation**: Graceful degradation with logging
+- Attempt full preservation
+- Fall back to simpler rendering if needed
+- Log what couldn't be preserved
+
+### Risk 3: Performance Impact
+**Risk**: Style processing may slow down PDF generation
+**Mitigation**:
+- Cache computed styles
+- Batch similar operations
+- Lazy loading for images
+
+### Trade-off: Accuracy vs Speed
+- Direct track: Prioritize accuracy (users chose quality)
+- OCR track: Balance accuracy with processing time
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests
+```python
+def test_image_saving():
+    """Test that images are actually saved"""
+
+def test_path_resolution():
+    """Test path lookup with fallbacks"""
+
+def test_table_bbox_rendering():
+    """Test tables render without fake images"""
+
+def test_style_application():
+    """Test font/color/size application"""
+```
+
+### Integration Tests
+- Process document with images → verify images in PDF
+- Process document with tables → verify table layout
+- Process styled document → verify formatting preserved
+
+### Visual Regression Tests
+- Generate PDFs for test documents
+- Compare with expected outputs
+- Flag visual differences
+
+## Success Metrics
+
+1. **Image Rendering**: 100% of detected images appear in PDF
+2. **Table Rendering**: 100% of tables rendered with correct layout
+3. **Style Preservation**:
+   - Direct track: 90%+ style attributes preserved
+   - OCR track: Basic formatting maintained
+4. **Performance**: <10% increase in generation time
+5. **Quality**: User satisfaction with output appearance
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+### Rollout Strategy
+1. Deploy fixes behind feature flag
+2. Test with subset of documents
+3. Gradual rollout monitoring quality
+4. Full deployment after validation
+
+### Rollback Plan
+- Feature flag to disable enhanced rendering
+- Fallback to current implementation
+- Keep old code paths during transition
+
+## Open Questions
+
+### Resolved
+Q: Should we modify UnifiedDocument structure?
+A: No, work within existing model for compatibility
+
+Q: How to handle missing fonts?
+A: Font mapping table with safe fallbacks
+
+### Pending
+Q: Should we support embedded fonts in PDFs?
+- Requires investigation of PDF font embedding
+
+Q: How to handle RTL text and vertical writing?
+- May need specialized text layout engine
+
+Q: Should we preserve hyperlinks and bookmarks?
+- Depends on user requirements

+# PDF Layout Restoration and Preservation
+
+## Problem
+Currently, the PDF generation from both OCR and Direct extraction tracks produces documents that are **severely degraded compared to the original**, with multiple critical issues:
+
+### 1. Images Never Appear
+- **OCR track**: `pp_structure_enhanced._save_image()` is an empty implementation (lines 262, 414), so detected images are never saved
+- **Direct track**: Image paths are saved as `content["saved_path"]` but converter looks for `content.get("path")`, causing a mismatch
+- **Result**: All PDFs are text-only, with no images whatsoever
+
+### 2. Tables Never Render
+- Table elements use fake `table_*.png` references that don't exist as actual files
+- `draw_table_region()` tries to find these non-existent images to get bbox coordinates
+- When images aren't found, table rendering is skipped entirely
+- **Result**: No tables appear in generated PDFs
+
+### 3. Text Layout is Broken
+- All text uses single `drawString()` call with entire block as one line
+- No line breaks, paragraph alignment, or text styling preserved
+- Direct track extracts `StyleInfo` but it's completely ignored during PDF generation
+- **Result**: Text appears as unformatted blocks at wrong positions
+
+### 4. Information Loss in Conversion
+- Direct track data gets converted to legacy OCR format, losing rich metadata
+- Span-level information (fonts, colors, styles) is discarded
+- Precise positioning information is reduced to simple bboxes
+
+## Solution
+Implement proper layout preservation for PDF generation:
+
+1. **Fix image handling**: Actually save images and use correct path references
+2. **Fix table rendering**: Use element's own bbox instead of looking for fake images
+3. **Preserve text formatting**: Use StyleInfo and span-level data for accurate rendering
+4. **Track-specific rendering**: Different approaches for OCR vs Direct tracks
+
+## Impact
+- **User Experience**: Output PDFs will actually be usable and readable
+- **Functionality**: Tables and images will finally appear in outputs
+- **Quality**: Direct track PDFs will closely match original formatting
+- **Performance**: No negative impact, possibly faster by avoiding unnecessary conversions
+
+## Tasks
+- Fix image saving and path references (Critical)
+- Fix table rendering using actual bbox data (Critical)
+- Implement track-specific PDF generation (Important)
+- Preserve text styling and formatting (Important)
+- Add span-level text rendering (Nice-to-have)

+# Result Export Specification
+
+## ADDED Requirements
+
+### Requirement: Layout-Preserving PDF Generation
+The system MUST generate PDF files that preserve the original document layout including images, tables, and text formatting.
+
+#### Scenario: Generate PDF with images
+GIVEN a document processed through OCR or Direct track
+WHEN images are detected and extracted
+THEN the generated PDF MUST include all images at their original positions
+AND images MUST maintain their aspect ratios
+AND images MUST be saved to an imgs/ subdirectory
+
+#### Scenario: Generate PDF with tables
+GIVEN a document containing tables
+WHEN tables are detected and extracted
+THEN the generated PDF MUST render tables with proper structure
+AND tables MUST use their own bbox coordinates for positioning
+AND tables MUST NOT depend on fake image references
+
+#### Scenario: Generate PDF with styled text
+GIVEN a document processed through Direct track with StyleInfo
+WHEN text elements have style information
+THEN the generated PDF MUST apply font families (with mapping)
+AND the PDF MUST apply font sizes
+AND the PDF MUST apply text colors
+AND the PDF MUST apply bold/italic formatting
+
+### Requirement: Track-Specific Rendering
+The system MUST provide different rendering approaches based on the processing track.
+
+#### Scenario: Direct track rendering
+GIVEN a document processed through Direct extraction
+WHEN generating a PDF
+THEN the system MUST use rich formatting preservation
+AND maintain precise positioning from the original
+AND apply all available StyleInfo
+
+#### Scenario: OCR track rendering
+GIVEN a document processed through OCR
+WHEN generating a PDF
+THEN the system MUST use simplified rendering
+AND apply best-effort positioning based on bbox
+AND use estimated font sizes
+
+### Requirement: Image Path Resolution
+The system MUST correctly resolve image paths with fallback logic.
+
+#### Scenario: Resolve saved image paths
+GIVEN an element with image content
+WHEN looking for the image path
+THEN the system MUST check content["saved_path"] first
+AND fallback to content["path"] if not found
+AND fallback to content["image_path"] if not found
+AND finally check metadata["path"]
+
+## MODIFIED Requirements
+
+### Requirement: PDF Generation Pipeline
+The PDF generation pipeline MUST be enhanced to support layout preservation.
+
+#### Scenario: Enhanced PDF generation
+GIVEN a UnifiedDocument from either track
+WHEN generating a PDF
+THEN the system MUST detect the processing track
+AND route to the appropriate rendering method
+AND preserve as much layout information as available
+
+### Requirement: Image Handling in PP-Structure
+The PP-Structure enhanced module MUST actually save extracted images.
+
+#### Scenario: Save PP-Structure images
+GIVEN PP-Structure extracts an image with img_path
+WHEN processing the image element
+THEN the _save_image method MUST save the image to disk
+AND return a relative path for reference
+AND handle both file paths and numpy arrays
+
+### Requirement: Table Rendering Logic
+The table rendering MUST use direct bbox instead of image lookup.
+
+#### Scenario: Render table with direct bbox
+GIVEN a table element with bbox coordinates
+WHEN rendering the table in PDF
+THEN the system MUST use the element's own bbox
+AND NOT look for non-existent table image files
+AND position the table accurately based on coordinates
