How to Make the PDF Smaller
- Upload the PDF
- Compress the file
- Download the smaller version
- Retry the application upload
Tips for Application Uploads
- Use PDF instead of Word when possible
- Merge related pages into one document if required
- Remove unnecessary pages first
- Check the portal size limit before uploading
