Is there a size limit for pdf-files?

I would like to collect some instruction manuals on notebooks, but it crashes when opening a 9 MB document. It's 2.0.1 on ipad and the instr. man. is from a buffalo nas station:

Hi,

I just tested the files you are referencing and was able to reproduce the crash. The reason is that these PDFs require a huge amount of memory when they are displayed, and so the iOS shuts Notebooks down. It is exactly the same when trying to view these documents in Safari or Mail, these documents are hitting a hard limit of the device.

We are planning to add better PDF support to Notebooks by providing our own PDF handling, which probably is the only way around this type of limitation.

Best,
Alfons
