+- Enhanced response fields (processing_track, element counts)
+
+---
+
+## Known Issues & Limitations
+
+### 1. Large Office Document Timeout ⚠️
+
+**Issue**: 11MB PowerPoint file exceeds 300s timeout
+**Workaround**: Smaller Office files (<5MB) process successfully
+**Status**: Non-critical, requires optimization in future phase
+**Tracking**: [tasks.md Line 143](tasks.md#L143)
+
+### 2. Mixed Content PDF Handling ⚠️
+
+**Issue**: PDFs with both scanned and editable pages use OCR track for completeness
+**Workaround**: System correctly defaults to OCR for safety
+**Status**: Future enhancement - page-level track mixing
+**Tracking**: [design.md Line 247](design.md#L247)
+
+### 3. GPU Memory Management 💡
+
+**Status**: ✅ Resolved with cleanup system
+**Implementation**: `cleanup_gpu_memory()` at strategic points
+**Benefit**: Prevents OOM errors on RTX 4060 8GB
+**Documentation**: [design.md Line 278-392](design.md#L278-L392)
+
+---
+
+## Critical Fixes Applied
+
+### 1. OCR Converter Data Structure Mismatch (e23aaac)
+
+**Problem**: OCR track produced empty output files (0 pages, 0 elements)
+**Root Cause**: Converter expected `text_regions` inside `layout_data`, but it's at top level
+**Solution**: Added `_extract_from_traditional_ocr()` method
+**Impact**: Fixed all OCR track output generation
+
+**Before**:
+- img1.png → 0 pages, 0 elements, 0 KB output
+
+**After**:
+- img1.png → 1 page, 27 elements, 13KB JSON, 498B MD, 23KB PDF
+
+### 2. Office Document Direct Track Optimization (5bcf3df)
+
+**Implementation**: Office → PDF → Direct track strategy
+**Performance**: 60x improvement (>300s → 2-5s)
+**Impact**: Makes Office document processing practical
+
+---
+
+## Dependencies Added
+
+### Python Packages

+
+// Enhanced code (leverages new features)
+const { status, filename, processing_track, element_count } = await getTask(taskId);
+if (processing_track === 'direct') {
+  console.log(`Fast processing: ${element_count} elements in ${processing_time}s`);
+}
+```
+

+# Technical Design: Dual-track Document Processing
+
+## Context
+
+### Background
+The current OCR tool processes all documents through PaddleOCR, even when dealing with editable PDFs that contain extractable text. This causes:
+- Unnecessary processing overhead
+- Potential quality degradation from re-OCRing already digital text
+- Loss of precise formatting information
+- Inefficient GPU usage on documents that don't need OCR
+
+### Constraints
+- RTX 4060 8GB GPU memory limitation
+- Need to maintain backward compatibility with existing API
+- Must support future translation features
+- Should handle mixed documents (partially scanned, partially digital)
+
+### Stakeholders
+- API consumers expecting consistent JSON/PDF output
+- Translation system requiring structure preservation
+- Performance-sensitive deployments
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+### Goals
+- Intelligently route documents to appropriate processing track
+- Preserve document structure for translation
+- Optimize GPU usage by avoiding unnecessary OCR
+- Maintain unified output format across tracks
+- Reduce processing time for editable PDFs by 70%+
+
+### Non-Goals
+- Implementing the actual translation engine (future phase)
+- Supporting video or audio transcription
+- Real-time collaborative editing
+- OCR model training or fine-tuning
+
+## Decisions
+
+### Decision 1: Dual-track Architecture
+**What**: Implement two separate processing pipelines - OCR track and Direct extraction track
+
+**Why**:
+- Editable PDFs don't need OCR, can be processed 10-100x faster
+- Direct extraction preserves exact formatting and fonts
+- OCR track remains optimal for scanned documents
+
+**Alternatives considered**:
+1. **Single enhanced OCR pipeline**: Would still waste resources on editable PDFs
+2. **Hybrid approach per page**: Too complex, most documents are uniformly editable or scanned
+3. **Multiple specialized pipelines**: Over-engineering for current requirements
+
+### Decision 2: UnifiedDocument Model
+**What**: Create a standardized intermediate representation for both tracks
+
+**Why**:
+- Provides consistent API interface regardless of processing track
+- Simplifies downstream processing (PDF generation, translation)
+- Enables track switching without breaking changes
+
+**Structure**:
+```python
+@dataclass
+class UnifiedDocument:
+    document_id: str
+    metadata: DocumentMetadata
+    pages: List[Page]
+    processing_track: Literal["ocr", "direct"]
+
+@dataclass
+class Page:
+    page_number: int
+    elements: List[DocumentElement]
+    dimensions: Dimensions
+
+@dataclass
+class DocumentElement:
+    element_id: str
+    type: ElementType  # text, table, image, header, etc.
+    content: Union[str, Dict, bytes]
+    bbox: BoundingBox
+    style: Optional[StyleInfo]
+    confidence: Optional[float]  # Only for OCR track
+```
+
+### Decision 3: PyMuPDF for Direct Extraction
+**What**: Use PyMuPDF (fitz) library for editable PDF processing
+
+**Why**:
+- Mature, well-maintained library
+- Excellent coordinate preservation
+- Fast C++ backend
+- Supports text, tables, and image extraction with positions
+
+**Alternatives considered**:
+1. **pdfplumber**: Good but slower, less precise coordinates
+2. **PyPDF2**: Limited layout information
+3. **PDFMiner**: Complex API, slower performance
+
+### Decision 4: Processing Track Auto-detection
+**What**: Automatically determine optimal track based on document analysis
+
+**Detection logic**:
+```python
+def detect_track(file_path: Path) -> str:
+    file_type = magic.from_file(file_path, mime=True)
+
+    if file_type.startswith('image/'):
+        return "ocr"
+
+    if file_type == 'application/pdf':
+        # Check if PDF has extractable text
+        doc = fitz.open(file_path)
+        for page in doc[:3]:  # Sample first 3 pages
+            text = page.get_text()
+            if len(text.strip()) < 100:  # Minimal text
+                return "ocr"
+        return "direct"
+
+    if file_type in OFFICE_MIMES:
+        # Convert Office to PDF first, then analyze
+        pdf_path = convert_office_to_pdf(file_path)
+        return detect_track(pdf_path)  # Recursive call on PDF
+
+    return "ocr"  # Default fallback
+```
+
+**Office Document Processing Strategy**:
+1. Convert Office files (Word, PPT, Excel) to PDF using LibreOffice
+2. Analyze the resulting PDF for text extractability
+3. Route based on PDF analysis:
+   - Text-based PDF → Direct track (faster, more accurate)
+   - Image-based PDF → OCR track (for scanned content in Office docs)
+
+This approach ensures:
+- Consistent processing pipeline (all documents become PDF first)
+- Optimal routing based on actual content
+- Significant performance improvement for editable Office documents
+- Better layout preservation (no OCR errors on text content)
+
+### Decision 5: GPU Memory Management
+**What**: Implement dynamic batch sizing and model caching for RTX 4060 8GB
+
+**Why**:
+- Prevents OOM errors
+- Maximizes throughput
+- Enables concurrent request handling
+
+**Strategy**:
+```python
+# Adaptive batch sizing based on available memory
+batch_size = calculate_batch_size(
+    available_memory=get_gpu_memory(),
+    image_size=image.shape,
+    model_size=MODEL_MEMORY_REQUIREMENTS
+)
+
+# Model caching to avoid reload overhead
+@lru_cache(maxsize=2)
+def get_model(model_type: str):
+    return load_model(model_type)
+```
+
+### Decision 6: Backward Compatibility
+**What**: Maintain existing API while adding new capabilities
+
+**How**:
+- Existing endpoints continue working unchanged
+- New `processing_track` parameter is optional
+- Output format compatible with current consumers
+- Gradual migration path for clients
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+### Risk 1: Mixed Content Documents
+**Risk**: Documents with both scanned and digital pages
+**Mitigation**:
+- Page-level track detection as fallback
+- Confidence scoring to identify uncertain pages
+- Manual override option via API
+
+### Risk 2: Direct Extraction Quality
+**Risk**: Some PDFs have poor internal structure
+**Mitigation**:
+- Fallback to OCR track if extraction quality is low
+- Quality metrics: text density, structure coherence
+- User-reportable quality issues
+
+### Risk 3: Memory Pressure
+**Risk**: RTX 4060 8GB limitation with concurrent requests
+**Mitigation**:
+- Request queuing system
+- Dynamic batch adjustment
+- CPU fallback for overflow
+
+### Trade-off 1: Processing Time vs Accuracy
+- Direct extraction: Fast but depends on PDF quality
+- OCR: Slower but consistent quality
+- **Decision**: Prioritize speed for editable PDFs, accuracy for scanned
+
+### Trade-off 2: Complexity vs Flexibility
+- Two tracks increase system complexity
+- But enable optimal processing per document type
+- **Decision**: Accept complexity for 10x+ performance gains
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+### Phase 1: Infrastructure (Week 1-2)
+1. Deploy UnifiedDocument model
+2. Implement DocumentTypeDetector
+3. Add DirectExtractionEngine
+4. Update logging and monitoring
+
+### Phase 2: Integration (Week 3)
+1. Update OCR service with routing logic
+2. Modify PDF generator for unified model
+3. Add new API endpoints
+4. Deploy to staging
+
+### Phase 3: Validation (Week 4)
+1. A/B testing with subset of traffic
+2. Performance benchmarking
+3. Quality validation
+4. Client integration testing
+
+### Rollback Plan
+1. Feature flag to disable dual-track
+2. Fallback all requests to OCR track
+3. Maintain old code paths during transition
+4. Database migration reversible
+
+## Open Questions
+
+### Resolved
+- Q: Should we support page-level track mixing?
+  - A: No, adds complexity with minimal benefit. Document-level is sufficient.
+
+- Q: How to handle Office documents?
+  - A: Convert to PDF using LibreOffice, then analyze the PDF for text extractability.
+    - Text-based PDF → Direct track (editable Office docs produce text PDFs)
+    - Image-based PDF → OCR track (rare case of scanned content in Office)
+  - This approach provides:
+    - 10x+ faster processing for typical Office documents
+    - Better layout preservation (no OCR errors)
+    - Consistent pipeline (all documents normalized to PDF first)
+
+### Pending
+- Q: What translation services to integrate with?
+  - Needs stakeholder input on cost/quality trade-offs
+
+- Q: Should we cache extracted text for repeated processing?
+  - Depends on storage costs vs reprocessing frequency
+
+- Q: How to handle password-protected PDFs?
+  - May need API parameter for passwords
+

+```python
+def cleanup_gpu_memory(self):
+    """Clean up GPU memory using PaddlePaddle and optionally torch"""
+    # Clear PaddlePaddle GPU cache (primary)
+    if paddle.device.is_compiled_with_cuda():
+        paddle.device.cuda.empty_cache()
+
+    # Clear torch GPU cache if available (optional)
+    if TORCH_AVAILABLE and torch.cuda.is_available():
+        torch.cuda.empty_cache()
+        torch.cuda.synchronize()
+
+    # Force Python garbage collection
+    gc.collect()
+```
+
+#### 2. Cleanup Points
+GPU memory cleanup is triggered at strategic points:
+
+1. **After OCR processing** ([ocr_service.py:687](backend/app/services/ocr_service.py#L687))
+   - After completing image OCR processing
+
+2. **After layout analysis** ([ocr_service.py:807-808, 913-914](backend/app/services/ocr_service.py#L807-L914))
+   - After enhanced PP-StructureV3 processing
+   - After standard structure analysis
+
+3. **After traditional processing** ([ocr_service.py:1105-1106](backend/app/services/ocr_service.py#L1105))
+   - After processing all pages in traditional mode
+
+4. **On error** ([pp_structure_enhanced.py:168-177](backend/app/services/pp_structure_enhanced.py#L168))
+   - Clean up memory when PP-StructureV3 processing fails
+
+#### 3. Memory Monitoring
+**Pre-processing checks** prevent OOM errors:
+
+```python
+def check_gpu_memory(self, required_mb: int = 2000) -> bool:
+    """Check if sufficient GPU memory is available"""
+    # Get free memory via torch if available
+    if TORCH_AVAILABLE and torch.cuda.is_available():
+        free_memory = torch.cuda.mem_get_info()[0] / 1024**2
+        if free_memory < required_mb:
+            # Try cleanup and re-check
+            self.cleanup_gpu_memory()
+            # Log warning if still insufficient
+    return True  # Continue even if check fails (graceful degradation)
+```
+
+**Memory checks before**:
+- OCR processing: 1500MB required
+- PP-StructureV3 processing: 2000MB required
+
+#### 4. Optional torch Dependency
+torch is **not required** for GPU memory management. The system uses PaddlePaddle's built-in `paddle.device.cuda.empty_cache()` as the primary method.
+
+**Why optional**:
+- Project uses PaddlePaddle which has its own CUDA implementation
+- torch provides additional memory monitoring via `mem_get_info()`
+- Gracefully degrades if torch is not installed
+
+**Import pattern**:
+```python
+try:
+    import torch
+    TORCH_AVAILABLE = True
+except ImportError:
+    TORCH_AVAILABLE = False
+```
+
+#### 5. Benefits
+- **Prevents OOM errors**: Regular cleanup prevents memory accumulation
+- **Better GPU utilization**: Freed memory available for next operations
+- **Graceful degradation**: Works without torch, continues on cleanup failures
+- **Debug visibility**: Logs memory status for troubleshooting
+
+#### 6. Performance Impact
+- Cleanup overhead: <50ms per operation
+- Memory recovery: Typically 200-500MB per cleanup
+- No impact on accuracy or output quality

+# Change: Dual-track Document Processing with Structure-Preserving Translation
+
+## Why
+
+The current system processes all documents through PaddleOCR, causing unnecessary overhead for editable PDFs that already contain extractable text. Additionally, we're only using ~20% of PP-StructureV3's capabilities, missing out on comprehensive document structure extraction. The system needs to support structure-preserving document translation as a future goal.
+
+## What Changes
+
+- **ADDED** Dual-track processing architecture with intelligent routing
+  - OCR track for scanned documents, images, and Office files using PaddleOCR
+  - Direct extraction track for editable PDFs using PyMuPDF
+- **ADDED** UnifiedDocument model as common output format for both tracks
+- **ADDED** DocumentTypeDetector service for automatic track selection
+- **MODIFIED** OCR service to use PP-StructureV3's parsing_res_list instead of markdown
+  - Now extracts all 23 element types with bbox coordinates
+  - Preserves reading order and hierarchical structure
+- **MODIFIED** PDF generator to handle UnifiedDocument format
+  - Enhanced overlap detection to prevent text/image/table collisions
+  - Improved coordinate transformation for accurate layout
+- **ADDED** Foundation for structure-preserving translation system
+- **BREAKING** JSON output structure will include new fields (backward compatible with defaults)
+
+## Impact
+
+- **Affected specs**:
+  - `document-processing` (new capability)
+  - `result-export` (enhanced with track metadata and structure data)
+  - `task-management` (tracks processing route and history)
+- **Affected code**:
+  - `backend/app/services/ocr_service.py` - Major refactoring for dual-track
+  - `backend/app/services/pdf_generator_service.py` - UnifiedDocument support
+  - `backend/app/api/v2/tasks.py` - New endpoints for track detection
+  - `frontend/src/pages/TaskDetailPage.tsx` - Display processing track info
+- **Performance**: 5-10x faster for editable PDFs, same speed for scanned documents
+- **Dependencies**: Adds PyMuPDF, pdfplumber, python-magic-bin
