Email, job applications and visa forms usually cap the size of each file. The most reliable approach: merge the scans into one document, compress it, then split it if it is still over the limit.
Steps#
- Combine the separate files with Merge PDF and put the pages in order.
- Open Compress PDF, choose “Custom size” and pick 10 MB, 5 MB or 2 MB, or type your own limit.
- If one file can’t fit, the tool tells you up front and splits it into numbered parts.
- Download the result and check it by zooming in on stamps, numbers and signatures.
Note#
Every recipient sets its own limits, and they can change. Check their requirements before you send.
