Description

I am trying to use the attached file to convert to md via mcp server. But, sounds like it is only working partially. What are the limitations on this. I just see the 695 bytes in the generated md file. Please suggest

DynamoDB-Developer-Guide.pdf
DynamoDB-Developer.md

This is what I received:
Note that the MCP server appears to only convert a portion of the original 21MB PDF document, which is why the markdown file is much smaller than the original. This is likely due to size limitations in the conversion function.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the MCP server conversion with the attached DynamoDB-Developer-Guide.pdf and compare the generated DynamoDB-Developer.md with the source document. Determine whether the partial output is an actual conversion failure or a documented size limitation, then make the behavior or limitation clear and verify conversion of the full document.
