 }
 ```
 
-This prevents hitting AI model context limits and improves performance.
+#### Examples
 
-### Image Extraction
-
-Extract embedded images from PDF pages as base64-encoded data:
+**Metadata only (fast):**
+```json
+{
+  "sources": [{ "path": "large.pdf" }],
+  "include_metadata": true,
+  "include_page_count": true,
+  "include_full_text": false
+}
+```
 
+**From URL:**
 ```json
 {
-  "sources": [{ "path": "document.pdf" }],
-  "include_images": true
+  "sources": [{
+    "url": "https://arxiv.org/pdf/2301.00001.pdf"
+  }],
+  "include_full_text": true
 }
 ```
 
-**Image data format**:
+**Page ranges:**
 ```json
 {
-  "images": [
-    {
-      "page": 1,
-      "index": 0,
-      "width": 800,
-      "height": 600,
-      "format": "rgb",
-      "data": "base64-encoded-image-data..."
-    }
-  ]
+  "sources": [{
+    "path": "manual.pdf",
+    "pages": "1-5,10-15,20"  // Pages 1,2,3,4,5,10,11,12,13,14,15,20
+  }]
 }
 ```
 
-**Supported formats**:
-- ✅ **RGB** - Standard color images (most common)
-- ✅ **RGBA** - Images with transparency
-- ✅ **Grayscale** - Black and white images
-- ✅ Works with JPEG, PNG, and other embedded formats
+---
 
-**Important considerations**:
-- 🔸 Image extraction increases response size significantly
-- 🔸 Useful for AI models with vision capabilities
-- 🔸 Set `include_images: false` (default) to extract text only
-- 🔸 Combine with `pages` parameter to limit extraction scope
+## 🔧 Advanced Usage
 
-### Security: Relative Paths Only
+<details>
+<summary><strong>📐 Y-Coordinate Content Ordering</strong></summary>
 
-**Important:** The server only accepts **relative paths** for security reasons. Absolute paths are blocked to prevent unauthorized file system access.
+<br/>
 
-✅ **Good**: `"path": "documents/report.pdf"`
-❌ **Bad**: `"path": "/Users/john/documents/report.pdf"`
+Content is returned in natural reading order based on Y-coordinates:
 
-**Solution**: Configure the `cwd` (current working directory) in your MCP client settings.
+```
+Document Layout:
+┌─────────────────────┐
+│ [Title]       Y:100 │
+│ [Image]       Y:150 │
+│ [Text]        Y:400 │
+│ [Photo A]     Y:500 │
+│ [Photo B]     Y:550 │
+└─────────────────────┘
+
+Response Order:
+[
+  { type: "text", text: "Title..." },
+  { type: "image", data: "..." },
+  { type: "text", text: "..." },
+  { type: "image", data: "..." },
+  { type: "image", data: "..." }
+]
+```
 
-## 🔧 Troubleshooting
+**Benefits:**
+- AI understands spatial relationships
+- Natural document comprehension
