Confirmation:

  • I have read and followed all the instructions provided in the README.md.
  • I am on the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
  • I have included the browser console logs.
  • I have included the Docker container logs.

I found a workaround way, re-save the PDF file by macOS Preview, and then re-uploading works.
But I think it would be still better to find a way to resolve the parsing issue. ☺️
