Built the core image processing, OCR, and field extraction pipeline for docling-pk, supporting Pakistani identity and education documents. Real-world testing exposed failures caused by image preprocessing assumptions and OCR layout variability, leading to more robust extraction strategies. The system now handles rotated documents, layout-dependent fields, and explicit extraction failures rather than relying on ideal document structure. The work reinforced a practical lesson: real document variability must drive OCR design, not assumptions from standard preprocessing techniques.
