The synchronous [DetectText](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/textract/latest/dg/API_DetectDocumentText.html) API supports only 1-page PDF documents no larger than 10MB ([source](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/textract/latest/dg/limits-document.html)). These limits are in place because the API is synchronous and there is an expectation that the result will be returned quickly. A multi-page PDF document takes longer to process and can only be done with the asynchronous [StartDocumentTextDetection](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/textract/latest/dg/API_StartDocumentTextDetection.html) API.
