Resizing pdfs

[bachr1989]

Hello all,

I am currently working on the Univ. of Minnesota online app. and am having trouble uploading one of my unofficial transcripts because the file is too large. Does anybody have any recommendations on how to rectify this?

Thanks!

I had the same problem. Apparently if you have the full version of adobe (which only costs, oh, several hundred dollars) there's a file resizing option. But alas, this isn't available on the free version. My solution was to rescan at a lower dpi (150 instead of 300) and in black and white rather than full color. The scan was still perfectly legible, and the file size went from 25MB to 1MB.

I downloaded a program called PrimoPDF, and it helped me reduce the size. It's a PDF printer.
