    I'm having trouble as "can't upload PDF to Claude," and I'm not sure what's causing it. I need to analyze a lengthy PDF report, but every time I try to upload it, the upload either fails or Claude doesn't accept the file. At first, I thought it was a browser or internet issue, but after checking, I realized the PDF was quite large and it seems Claude has limitations on the file size it can process.

    To solve the problem, I used FreeViewer PDF Splitter to divide the large PDF into smaller parts. After splitting the document into multiple PDFs, I was able to upload them one by one without any issues. It worked well for my case and didn't affect the document formatting.

    Are there any other reliable solutions I should try? For example, would compressing the PDF, removing unnecessary pages, optimizing images, or converting scanned PDFs into searchable PDFs improve the upload process? I'd appreciate any recommendations or tips from those who have faced the same issue.
