PDF page or file size limit

Hello. When I try to upload a PDF file (ex for Medical Records) with about 200 pages and size is 18MB, the file isn’t uploaded, not even an error prompt. Taskbar shows uploading (up to 100%) then nothing. But I already have my max file size upload set to 32MB in my PHP.ini. What could be the issue? I can upload smaller PDF files. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you

Sounds like php is timing out. Try increasing max_execution_time.

There is a hard coded hidden value size limit in the document uploader. Which version of OpenEMR is this on? I believe some of those were changed from V4 to V5. Also make sure your post_max_size in php.ini is sufficiently large, usually 32 - 64MB is enough unless you’re sending huge files like video clips.
Be sure to restart your web server in between ini file changes so they take effect.

I routinely upload pdf files in the 120 MB range … that’s on the AWS Standard Edition.

I do see the problem the original poster brought up … if the upload takes a long time, the upload will not give a (user-visible) error that indicates that the upload failed … it simply fails without any message noticed by the user as far as I can tell. I always check to make sure that a PDF file upload succeeded by viewing it in the built-in viewer.
