From 2b7ba8cdebe5f9734c3f3d148c322a40ff505194 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Emma Van Der Heide Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2026 13:26:36 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [SC-18631] State the PDF size limit for Document Checker reads The 250 MB limit is enforced by the shared pdf-parse limits for every PDF workflow, including the Document Checker reading step, but the checker guide never said so. Adds one line to the reading callout, linking to the documented PDF requirements.

From ff494ccfa46bd9cedb9384cd1c73ddac23563f5f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Emma Van Der Heide Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2026 13:57:24 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] [SC-18631] Present the 250 MB PDF size as guidance, not a hard limit Per Juan: the figure is the backend default and deployments can set their own, so the Document Checker, document conversion and template outline pages now call it a recommended size and note that a deployment may enforce a different limit.
