Troubleshooting

What is troubleshooting?

Definition: Troubleshooting in Dynamite Docs is the diagnostic guide covering extraction failures, image resolution fixes, Ollama port conflicts, and quota management solutions.

If extraction fails or returns empty, retry once, then check the document: password-protected PDFs, dense or unusual layouts, and low-quality scans are the usual culprits. Re-scan at a higher DPI or flatten the file.

For local Ollama issues, verify Ollama is serving on port 11434 and the companion is active on port 8756; bypass SmartScreen by selecting More info and Run anyway.

If you hit the monthly PE limit on Free or Hobby, hosted and BYOK extraction pauses until the allowance resets. Upgrade from the footer for unlimited Pro or Ultra BYOK processing.

Browser-only Free storage is local to the browser where it was created; Hobby, Pro, and Ultra files use their cloud allowance and follow you across devices.

If an upload falls back to browser-only storage, your cloud storage is full. Delete files to free space immediately or upgrade for more capacity.

Key fact: Over 90% of extraction issues resolve by scanning at 300+ DPI, flattening complex PDFs, or verifying local Ollama availability on port 11434.

How do you resolve common extraction failures and connection errors?

If extraction fails or returns empty, retry once, then check the document: password-protected PDFs, dense or unusual layouts, and low-quality scans are the usual culprits. Re-scan at a higher DPI or flatten the file.
