How do I reduce file size for document upload?

If you are scanning the information, typically reducing the resolution to 150-200 dpi should keep the document legible while keeping the file size small.

If the document is already saved as PDF, try reducing the file size of a PDF simply by using the File > Compress a PDF, or File > Save As Other > Reduced Size PDF. (See Adobe's Saving PDFs )

It’s a good idea to check the device (scanner, cell phone, etc.) or application you are using to see if there is a way to establish settings that will make all documents and images smaller.
