@x1y9 Can you provide an example file so we can reproduce. I want to solve this asap.

[x1y9]

rename any pdf file to "中文.pdf", then run docling to convert it.

We cannot reproduce the issue. Could it be something specific to the Windows OS? Can you please share the stackstrace produced?

Check if your full path contains Chinese characters

@x1y9 If you can provide us an example to reproduce, we can fix it. Otherwhise, we need to close this issue. We have indeed tried to rename the file, but no error was seen.
