A safer workflow

From an official limit to a checkable PDF

  1. 1
    Open the official service card

    Confirm the file type and per-document limit, not only the total upload allowance.

  2. 2
    Inspect before changing the PDF

    Check size, page count, orientation and metadata before choosing an operation.

  3. 3
    Use the lightest compression that reaches the target

    If visual compression is required, inspect small text, stamps and searchability afterwards.

  4. 4
    Open and verify the output

    Confirm page count and actual file size before uploading the new copy.

Prepare the PDF now

Start with readiness, then use compression, merging or A4 resizing according to the result.
