Hi there,

is there a maximum size for a cell when first reading a pdf-file (via Read Document) and then storing it in an example set via Documents to Data?
If I only use Read Document, the full text is returned as output.
If I use Read Document and Documents to data, only a part of the text is stored in the example set

    The cell preview is truncated, so you may be mislead in this case. Could you try to just copy the cell content and paste it in a text file? This way you can validate if you see all content or not.

    And just to explain why we truncate the text:

    I once read a 20GB text file into a cell and tried to mouse over the cell. This froze my studio, so we decided to only show the first X chars of a string in a cell.

    Best,
