I may be impatient, but how long does it take to index a PDF? I am using chrome.

Thanks!!

Hey Tom again :slight_smile:

Dependent on the page size, and how many pages you have already indexed it can range from a few milliseconds to a couple of seconds.

Interesting to know would be:

  1. How big is the PDF? (if you can share the link that would be great and I can try reproducing the error)
  2. How many websites do you have already indexed? To check go to settings/import and let the calculator run.
  3. What happens if you reload the page with the PDF and wait a couple of seconds?

Thanks for the help and sorry for Memex being unreliable/unpredictable :frowning:
Cheers
