Complete solution

Shows how to fix process only the pages you need with PDF Page Selection - pages start at 1. Use it when you hit this exact problem. Skip it when your error message or symptom looks different.

TL;DR

If you only need page 1 of a 40-page contract, tell Nanonets to process just that page with the PDF Page Selection setting (1:2 for a range, 3,6,7 for specific pages; pages start at 1).

Steps

  1. If you only need page 1 of a 40-page contract, tell Nanonets to process just that page with the PDF Page Selection setting (1:2 for a range, 3,6,7 for specific pages; pages start at 1). Every page you skip is rate-limit budget and money saved, and with the free tier at 2 pages per minute after 50 pages, that adds up fast. Also remember sync is the default - flip to async for anything over 3 pages.

When to use
