What constraints do these characteristics impose on the "document parsing and chunking" step
The clause numbering system requires that chunking does not break continuous policy clauses, otherwise context association during retrieval will be affected. Metadata such as effective date and implementation scope must be retained with each chunk, otherwise accurate matching of policy applicable scenarios will not be possible. Quantifiable construction indicators are bound to their corresponding applicable scenarios; splitting them will lead to loss of indicator meaning. Some documents contain long sections of compliance requirements, so an appropriate chunk length must be selected to avoid truncating core content. PDF documents with digital signatures may have their metadata ignored by the default parsing engine, requiring additional configuration for adaptation.
How to set configurations
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
chunkSize | 800–1200 characters | Adapts to the typical length of policy clauses and quantifiable indicators in documents, avoiding splitting core compliance requirements |
chunkSplitter | Split by title + paragraph | Adapts to the document's structure of policy numbers and clause numbers, retaining the association between clauses and their corresponding metadata |
customPdfParse | Enabled | Adapts to PDF documents with digital signatures, fixing the issue where the default parsing engine cannot recognize metadata in signed documents |
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS | 120 seconds | Addresses parsing time for long compliance documents, preventing task interruption mid-process |
UPLOAD_FILE_MAX_SIZE | 1000 MB | Allows uploading large industry standard PDF files, covering complete sets of compliance documents |
chunkSettingMode | Manual configuration | Adjust parameters for the document structure of specific categories to match the special format of industry documents |
Three common errors
- Phenomenon: After uploading a signed policy PDF, the parsed result is missing policy document numbers or core clause content. Cause: The
customPdfParseconfiguration is not enabled, and the default parsing engine cannot recognize metadata in signed PDFs. - Phenomenon: A parsing timeout error is triggered after uploading a large industry standard compliance document. Cause: The value set for
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDSis lower than the actual time required for document parsing. - Phenomenon: Chunked content splits policy document numbers and their corresponding clauses, making it impossible to associate complete policy requirements during retrieval. Cause: The
chunkSplitterconfiguration is set to split by character, without adapting to the document's title hierarchy structure.
How to confirm the configuration is correct
- Upload a single signed policy PDF, check if the parsed result includes complete policy document numbers, effective dates, and clause content.
- Upload a preset large industry standard document, confirm that the parsing task completes within the time set by
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS. - Randomly sample parsed chunked content, check that the association between policy clauses and their corresponding document numbers is retained.
- Perform a policy retrieval test, verify that complete context of corresponding policy clauses can be accurately recalled.
