# Keep linked PDFs under 60 MB
PDFs larger than Googlebot's download threshold are partially crawled or skipped, meaning their content may not appear in search results even when linked from well-indexed pages.
## Quick Reference
- Googlebot truncates files larger than 15 MB for crawling; 60 MB is a documented upper limit
- Large PDFs may be partially indexed or skipped entirely
- Compress PDFs before publishing: use PDF optimisation tools to reduce file size
- Add HTML landing pages alongside PDFs to ensure content is indexable
## Check
Find all <a href='*.pdf'> links on the site. For each linked PDF, perform a HEAD request and check the Content-Length header. Flag any PDF exceeding 10 MB (recommend compression) or 15 MB (likely to be truncated by Googlebot).
