PDF for Email Submission

Use this when your attachment has strict file-size limits but still needs to stay readable.

Target: Under upload limitTypical time: 3-6 minMain risk: Text blur

Recommended workflow

  1. Split by range

    Break large reports into sections before optimization.

  2. Keep required pages only

    Drop annexes and references that are not required for submission.

  3. Compress for email

    Apply balanced or maximum profile based on upload limit.

Constraint to action map

  • Under 5MB attachment limit

    Prefer split first, then compress.

  • Must keep text searchable

    Use balanced mode, avoid overly aggressive grayscale.

  • Scanned document with huge size

    Enable grayscale and remove unnecessary pages before final export.

If things go wrong

  • Upload still rejected after compression

    Run split-by-count and send in two files with clear naming.

  • Small text becomes hard to read

    Switch from maximum to balanced, then only trim pages instead of extra compression.

  • Recipient requests one single file

    Compress sections separately, then merge the smallest successful versions.

Output checklist before sending

  • Final file size is below submission limit.
  • Page order matches required sequence.
  • Key text blocks remain readable at 100% zoom.
