PDF files that are larger than 1 Mb are split into parts, for an easier delivery via email. They still count as single requests. Recombining them may seem complicated, but it is not. Just follow the instructions prepared for you in the email of the first part. Please note, that under Microsoft operating systems you will need to run the command from a command line prompt.
