Uploading Transcripts

by HPengineer » Sat Jan 01, 2011 6:59 pm
Hoping someone can help me out urgently... The school i am applying is asking that we upload our undergraduate transcripts... Thats all fine and good but the PDF file of my transcript is way over the size limit for the 250kb limit they allow? Any suggestions?

Cheers

Print it out, re-scan it, then upload it?

Or you can try copy the image with a graphic program, then convert it to PDF using free PDF printer driver applications by googling.
Yep.

For anyone else having this issue, if you have access to Adobe Acrobat Standard (probably through work) there's a function to compress your file and make it a smaller size. It usually doesn't visibly reduce the quality.
