Limits and important details

Local limits: Max single file: 10 MB / Max pages: 200

Maximum 10 MB input, 200 pages and 4 MB text output. Scanned documents without a text layer report an error instead of a fake successful extraction. Reading order, columns and fonts may not match visual layout. This is not OCR or PDF-to-Word.
