# Rel-18 Spec Conversion Problems ## Root Cause Datalab API converts DOCX -> PDF via LibreOffice internally. 26 specs have large `document.xml` and many embedded OLE objects (Visio diagrams, binary embeddings) that cause LibreOffice to exceed its 60-second server-side timeout. Error: `Conversion to PDF failed: LibreOffice conversion timed out after 60 seconds` ## Resolution Each DOCX was split into 3 smaller parts, converted individually, then merged back into a single markdown file. ## Results | Spec ID | Filename | Status | DOCX Words | MD Words | Ratio | Parts | |---------|----------|--------|------------|----------|-------|-------| | 23228 | 23228-i40.docx | OK | 142,024 | 172,006 | 1.211 | 10 | | 23280 | 23280-i80.docx | OK | 107,340 | 150,748 | 1.404 | 10 | | 23281 | 23281-i60.docx | OK | 57,888 | 84,189 | 1.454 | 10 | | 23282 | 23282-i60.docx | OK | 76,910 | 113,660 | 1.478 | 10 | | 23288 | 23288-i40.docx | OK | 104,702 | 147,626 | 1.410 | 10 | | 23379 | 23379-i80.docx | OK | 83,882 | 117,173 | 1.397 | 10 | | 23401 | 23401-i40.docx | OK | 242,808 | 284,524 | 1.172 | 10 | | 23402 | 23402-i30.docx | OK | 132,703 | 164,701 | 1.241 | 10 | | 23434 | 23434-i70.docx | OK | 75,664 | 112,892 | 1.492 | 10 | | 23501 | 23501-i40.docx | OK | 341,122 | 427,013 | 1.252 | 10 | | 23502 | 23502-i40.docx | OK | 374,897 | 478,846 | 1.277 | 10 | | 23558 | 23558-i50.docx | OK | 72,732 | 112,422 | 1.546 | 10 | | 23700-60 | 23700-60-i00.docx | OK | 107,341 | 125,201 | 1.166 | 10 | | 23700-81 | 23700-81-i00.docx | OK | 96,778 | 121,620 | 1.257 | 10 | | 23700-98 | 23700-98-i10.docx | OK | 81,208 | 106,371 | 1.310 | 10 | | 28552 | 28552-i50.docx | OK | 119,235 | 133,285 | 1.118 | 10 | | 29213 | 29213-i00.docx | OK | 66,426 | 96,510 | 1.453 | 10 | | 29503 | 29503-i40.docx | OK | 94,505 | 162,437 | 1.719 | 20 | | 29513 | 29513-i40.docx | OK | 80,341 | 112,077 | 1.395 | 10 | | 32260 | 32260-i20.docx | WARN | 31,665 | 86,085 | 2.719 | 10 | | 32422 | 32422-i10.docx | OK | 60,619 | 79,495 | 1.311 | 20 | | 33501 | 33501-i40.docx | OK | 132,697 | 160,934 | 1.213 | 50 | | 36300 | 36300-i00.docx | OK | 145,138 | 191,301 | 1.318 | 10 | | 38331 | 38331-i00.docx | OK | 313,362 | 459,512 | 1.466 | 10 | | 38521-3 | 38521-3-i11.docx | WARN | 185,354 | 388,990 | 2.099 | 10 | | 38870 | 38870-i00.docx | OK | 22,994 | 40,357 | 1.755 | 10 | ## Spec Details ### 23228 (23228-i40.docx) -
