Summary:

This article demonstrates how the maximum document size that can be uploaded to PaperVision Enterprise can be increased, or decreased.

Description:

PaperVision Enterprise by default will allow a user to upload documents up to about 90MB in size. As this will suit most documents and files, in some cases it may be necessary to upload a larger document. To do this, the Web.config file must be edited and IIS will need to be restarted.

1. Back up the Web.config file.
   Before editing this file, a backup is recommended in the event that something is changed in error. Locate the Web.config file, which by default is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Digitech Systems\PaperVision\PVEWeb.Mvc\, then right click the file and select copy. Now, paste the file somewhere safe for reference later, such as the documents or desktop.
2. Edit the Web.config file.
   Open the Web.config file in a text editor such as notepad. Find the following fields within this file: maxRequestLength and maxAllowedContentLength.
   NOTE: Do not edit the file using Microsoft Word.
   You will see values listed for each field above in kilobytes. Simply change this value to whatever suits your needs. For instance, to set the maximum upload size to 500MB, enter 504857600 for both of these fields. Once done editing, simply save the file.
3. Perform an IISRESET.
   Once you have saved the Web.config file, an IIS reset is required to restart the Web Server. In order to do this, open a command prompt as an Administrator or any User that has access to manage IIS. In the prompt, enter IISRESET and press enter.
