Q: Document Retrieval limits

Regarding a precedent question about PDF size limit of 128MB or OCR PDF of 128 pages, how it would work with the Document Retrieval mode?

If I upload a PDF with 300 pages, and an answer to my question would be on page 260, how it would answer?

Maybe it's just unclear the difference case of a normal pdf and a ocr pdf.

A: Morning wateremela,

For normal text-based files like PDFs, DOCXs, etc we support up to 128MB and for image-based PDFs that require OCR we support files up to 128 pages and up to 128MB. Note that when uploading files that are heavier will make the upload time will be longer. When you upload a scan PDF, our site would use OCR to detect text on the PDF file.
