I'm trying to upload a screenplay to Claude Sonnet 4, but I'm encountering an issue where it claims the document exceeds the acceptable length. The screenplay is much shorter than a standard 100-page text document. Is there something I'm missing here? I'm subscribed to the pro plan, so I thought it would handle larger files.

I totally relate! I thought being on the pro plan meant I could upload larger files, too. I tried with a novel that was about 350 pages, but it was still under 600 KB, and Claude wouldn’t accept it either. It's so frustrating!
Did it end up accepting your 350-page PDF?
It could be that your document has images or formatting issues. Have you tried converting it to markdown or splitting it into smaller sections? PDFs can vary, and even if a document is under 100 pages, if it’s packed with images, it might hit token limits. Check the size, too!
Have you tried setting it up as project knowledge? It might work better that way.
