'''Error message'''
<pre>
Text extraction failed for one of the uploaded files. Please try again.
</pre>

'''Model Affected''': Claude 3 Sonnet

'''Suggested Workaround:'''
* When uploading PDF files in the Claude system, consider paste the relevant text directly into our conversation for better processing<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1bquumd/cant_upload_pdf_or_text/?rdt=54340 Can’t upload pdf or text : r/ClaudeAI]</ref>. Use [[Convert PDF to Text]] tools to help with the conversion.
* For other file types encountering errors, it's likely due to file conversion issues. It's recommended to manually convert files beforehand into formats that are easier for machines to read, such as Unicode (UTF-8) encoded TXT or CSV files<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1e4nzb5/claude_giving_me_text_extraction_failure/ Claude giving me text extraction failure : r/ClaudeAI]</ref>.
