Check Your PDF’s Page Size

To determine if your PDF is too large:

  1. Open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader.
  2. Press Ctrl + D or go to File > Properties.
  3. Under the Advanced section, look for the page dimensions.

Example: A PDF sized at 23.61 x 30.56 inches will need to be resized.

Resave as a Reduced-Size PDF

To shrink the PDF to standard size:

  1. Open the PDF.
  2. Go to File > Print.
  3. Under the Page Sizing & Handling section:
    • Select Microsoft Print to PDF as the printer.
    • Choose Shrink oversized pages.
    • Uncheck “Choose paper source by PDF page size.”
  4. Click Print and save the new file when prompted.

This process will generate a new PDF that fits within the 8.5" x 11" limit and should upload correctly.
