If you're attaching a large PDF directly into the chat and getting an error, this is expected. Like all AI tools, there's a limit to how many pages can be processed in a single chat message. Large architectural drawings and multi-page documents will often exceed this limit.
Don't attach large files directly to the chat. It's tempting, but it won't give you reliable results — and may fail entirely.
What to do instead. Upload the file to your Library first (under Materials → File Library) or to your project files. Once uploaded, give Avoice some time to process and index the document — this can take 30 minutes to an hour depending on size and complexity. After processing is complete, attach the file from your Library into the chat. The AI will then have full access to the extracted content.
Why does this work better? When you upload to the Library, Avoice breaks down and indexes the document in the background, so the AI doesn't have to process the entire file in one go. This means better extraction quality and no size-related errors.
In short:
Large PDFs attached directly → likely to error or miss content
Upload to Library first, wait for processing, then attach → reliable results
