  3. 3. Download, preview, and verify

Readability matters

Exact compression depends on the original file. Scanned documents usually compress differently from text PDFs. If the result is blurry or still too large, try a higher target, rescan around 150 DPI, or split a multi-page PDF.

Before you upload

  • Check the official portal requirement before processing.
  • Preview names, dates, seals, signatures, and marks.
  • Keep the original file until your application is accepted.
