Best Way to Send Large PDF Files

The best way to send a large PDF depends on why it is large. If the file is only a bit over the limit, compress it. If it is huge because it contains too many pages, split it. If it includes unnecessary sections, remove those first. The goal is to make the file easier to deliver without making it miserable to read.

Fastest Option: Compress the PDF

1. Upload the PDF
2. Compress it to reduce file size
3. Download the smaller version
4. Attach it to your email or upload it to the portal

When Splitting Is Better

If the PDF contains many sections, long appendices, or a giant scan packet, splitting may work better than aggressive compression.

• Split the PDF into smaller files

Tips for Sending Large PDFs
