Research direction

Start with the README instructions and the example at GenerativeAIExamples/RAG/examples/basic_rag/langchain, then trace the chain-server document ingestion path using the reported logs. Check how the example handles the PDF dependency behind the page-count error; done means the example can ingest the uploaded PDF without a 500 response.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Followed the instructions from the README and started the example from GenerativeAIExamples/RAG/examples/basic_rag/langchain.
