Any tool that can handle 1GB PDFs without crashing?
Been working with really large PDFs lately like close to 1GB
Most tools just struggle
Uploads take forever or fail halfway and you have to retry again
I got tired of that and ended up trying a different approach
Using freepdfscan.com which runs fully in the browser so there’s no upload step
Surprisingly it handled even ~1GB files smoothly
Way faster since everything stays local
Now I’m wondering why more tools don’t work like this
Anyone else dealing with files this big what are you using
