Is there any limitation from SharePoint online on indexing large PDF files

Question

I want to start a new project, which basically include uploading large PDF files and be able to search them. when i say large PDF files i am referring to either in respect to number of pages which can goes beyond 500,000 pages in a single file OR in respect to the file size which can also exceed 1/2 GB for a single file OR both of them of-course.

So SharePoint Online is one of the options to implement this project. but my question is if there is a any limitation in SharePoint online on large PDF files? either in uploading them and/or searching them/

Thanks

Answer 1

As long as the file is under 15 gigs you are good, but yes there is a character limit, The maximum amount of text output from the parser that's indexed. For example, if the parser extracted 8 million characters from a document or pdf file, only the first 2 million characters are indexed.

Answer 2

the only way I could think of is splitting the file into multiple files, other than that there is no work around since this is SharePoint Online.
