PaddleOCR and ERNIE Image now available as official Dify plugins

PaddleOCR and ERNIE Image are now available as official Dify plugins, bringing document parsing and image generation into Dify's agent workflows.

PaddleOCR, powered by PP-OCRv5, PP-StructureV3, and PaddleOCR-VL, turns images, scanned PDFs, and multilingual documents into structured data for chunking, vectorization, and RAG, with private or on-prem deployment supported.

ERNIE Image offers free generation, a Turbo mode with 8-step inference, and an OpenAI-style API.
