Minimal steps to reproduce

Create an indexer using Azure Search Service along with skillset to vectorize the document ( pdf and/or doc ).
Make sure that the fields on the index. matches the Document feeds ( content, embedding, sourcepage, sourcefile, category)

Any log messages given by the failure

Expected/desired behavior

Although the sourcepage is populated, It would be nice that the citation can still refer back to only use the sourcefile only. Since we are not using the predocs.py

Mention any other details that might be useful

I am trying to leverage the Azure AI Search capabilties, and rely less on building my own PdfParser/FileStratefgy. I got it working but my citation are inconsistent. sometime I get snippet of the content , sometimes I get info1.txt and they both have broken links.

hello @hfaouaz ,

We are currently working on integrated vectorization support. Please track #1020

[pamelafox]

We have made a custom skillset that runs our own code instead, mirroring the local ingestion in Azure Functions, so citations should work the same using both ingestion approaches. We will deprecate the previous integrated vectorization and recommend the new skillset approach, for maximal compatibility with the repo features. Please try it out and raise any issues you run into. Thanks!
