Getting Google to index a large PDF file
-
Hello! We have a 100+ MB PDF with multiple pages that we want Google to fully index on our server/website. First of all, is it even possible for Google to index a PDF file of this size?
It's been up on our server for a few days, and my colleague did a Googlebot fetch via Webmaster Tools, but it still hasn't happened yet.
My theories as to why this may not work:
A) We have no actual link(s) to the pdf anywhere on our website.
B) This PDF is approx 130 MB and very slow to load. I added some compression to it, but that only got it down to 105 MB.
Any tips or suggestions on getting this thing indexed in Google would be appreciated. Thanks!

- Link to it
- Add it to sitemap
- Compress it and make it load faster
My guess is that the file size is too large. Why not turn it into an HTML page? Or several pages?
