This error normally occurs on webservers if you either try to upload 
excessively large files or post a huge amount of data. If this is 
necessary you can set the LimitRequestBody (Apache) or 
client_max_body_size (nginx) in your server configuration.

However, since you mention that you try to index a large PDF I suspect 
that you have configured EXT:tika to use the solr server for extracting 
information and text from the PDF. In this case it looks like this is 
the response that is returned from the solr server when you try to send 
this large PDF to the remote tika instance.

For both this reason and to increase the speed I always use a local tika 
instance (simply have Java running on your TYPO3 server (or locally in 
your case), put a tika .jar file anywhere and set the location in the 
EXT:tika configuration in the Extension Manager.
Now you don't need to send the large files anymore to the remote server.
