What to check before upload
Before you run the tool, check the source file, page order, and whether you selected the right operation for the job. Large or complex files can behave differently depending on document structure and the current uploader limits.
If processing does not start or ends with an error, first verify the format, try a smaller file, or split the task into smaller parts. The page keeps direct paths to FAQ, Limits, and Security for that reason.
