When I run the example code, nothing happens—not even an error.

Bug

First, I want to apologize for my English; I’m using a translator.

I’m running the base code provided in the documentation, but nothing happens.

I ran it in Python (version 3.12.2) and via CLI; in both cases, no errors are returned.

Steps to reproduce

Here’s my code:

from docling.document_converter import DocumentConverter

source = "itr.pdf"  # PDF path or URL
converter = DocumentConverter()
result = converter.convert(source)
print(result.document.export_to_markdown())  # output: "### Docling Technical Report[...]"

Docling version

same happens with my code.. it takes so much time to extract data 🥲

That’s really sad, man :(

My code even runs, but it doesn’t return anything!

@iurysm1, not sure it helps, but, is your pdf file too big? If yes, try a one or two page pdf. Check your CPU (GPU) usage while running.

I tried with the file that is in the example code too:

source = "https://arxiv.org/pdf/2408.09869"

but nothing happened :(

I also had the same problem, but reverting to version 2.12.0 fixed it.

@iurysm1 It works fine for me with 2.14. Try once with fresh poetry install

From the tests I did, I realized that it's something on my computer, maybe it doesn't have the capacity to convert such large PDF documents :(

I tried with a two-page PDF like @bit-scientist told me and it worked.

I tested a large PDF on my computer that I use for gaming and it worked!

Thanks all for collaborating on this issue. I think we can settled it as closed.
