Hi @Madhu Prasad ,
Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.
Based on your description, it appears the bottleneck is occurring during the PDF parsing/extraction stage rather than at the GPT processing stage. Since chunking can only happen after the document is successfully parsed, splitting the content into smaller chunks will not help if parsing fails first.
For large or image-heavy PDFs, consider using Azure AI Document Intelligence to extract text and layout information before sending the content to Azure OpenAI. These types of documents often contain scanned pages or embedded images that can make standard PDF parsing unreliable. Once the content has been successfully extracted, it can then be chunked and processed by GPT more effectively.
