Workflow: submit a smaller PDF
Check the original, make a smaller copy, download it, and keep both versions until submission is accepted.
This workflow is useful when a school, job portal, or public form limits upload size.
Follow the workflow
Use this guide with Guide, PDF, Document workflow context in mind, then move into the linked task only when the next step is clear.
Continue with Compress PDF
When the task is clear, open Compress PDF from this guide instead of hunting through the tool directory.
Check the result
Keep the source nearby, check names and numbers, and avoid treating generated or transformed output as a source of truth.
