 ### Requirements
 - .NET 8+
-- Docling API >1.0.1
+- Docling API >1.0.1 (tested against quay.io/docling-project/docling-serve:latest)
 - Microsoft.Extensions.Http and Microsoft.Extensions.Options
+
+## Important Notes on docling-serve:latest (from investigation)
+
+The current `docling-serve` (latest image) has some specifics:
+
+- The `/v1/convert/file` endpoint **requires the multipart field name `"files"`** (array of files). Using `"file"` results in 422 "Field required".
+- Default pipeline is heavy (OCR on, accurate tables, picture VLM models). On CPU-only containers this easily exceeds the 120s `DOCLING_SERVE_MAX_SYNC_WAIT`, causing 504 "Conversion is taking too long".
+- Recommended for labels/manuals with tables: set `DoOcr=false`, `TableMode="fast"`, disable `DoPictureDescription`, `DoChartExtraction`, etc. (now exposed in `DoclingOptions` and sent on every extract).
+- The response for successful `/v1/convert/file` is nested: `{ "document": { "md_content": "...", "text_content": "...", ... }, "status": "success", ... }`. Parsing has been updated to handle this reliably (plus fallbacks).
+
+See the added integration tests (using Testcontainers) for validation against a real running docling-serve container.
+
+If you see long processing, set the env var `DOCLING_SERVE_MAX_SYNC_WAIT=300` on your container, or use the fast options.
+
+## Changes in this release (PR details)
+
+- Fixed form field to "files" (was causing 422 in some versions/configs).
+- Added conversion options to `DoclingOptions` (DoOcr, TableMode, DoPicture* etc.) with fast defaults for real PDFs.
+- Robust response parsing for modern serve output shape.
+- Added Testcontainers-based integration tests that spin up docling-serve:latest, extract real PDFs (including table-heavy cases), assert successful Markdown, and clean up the container.
+- Updated README with root-cause notes from manual `docker run + curl` repro + openapi inspection on problematic PDFs (cross-page tables, large manuals).
+
+All existing + new tests pass, code compiles cleanly.
