How does it handle tables and figures?

The skill is specifically optimized for table extraction (even with merged cells) and can extract and describe figures when using the MinerU VLM mode.

Does this skill require an API key?

It functions best with a MinerU API key for high-complexity documents, but includes robust fallback options for manual conversion and simple text extraction.

Can it process academic papers with multi-column layouts?

Yes, its VLM-based parsing is designed to handle multi-column academic formats and mathematical formulas that traditional OCR often fails to capture.

What is the difference between VLM and Pipeline mode?

VLM Mode uses a vision-language model for 90%+ accuracy at a slower speed, while Pipeline mode uses traditional parsing for faster results on simpler documents.
