Cathy & Paul Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Hi All, I have scanned in all my documents ready for my application for 887 visa, they are all in .JPG format (as that is how my printer formats them). I have just read on the DIAC website that the maximum number for upload is 60 files. I have 173 files :arghh::arghh: What am I supposed to do??? I have placed them in separate folders according to document i.e. bank statements, utility bills, etc., etc........ I'm beginning to stress out:arghh: Please help!!

tostar Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Combine the files into PDFs, use a free converter such as http://www.cutepdf.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cathy & Paul Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 I think I'm going to throw this computer through the window!!!!! I have converted all my documents in to PDF. The only thing now is that every folder is well over 5MB:arghh::arghh: The only one that is under is the file with only 2 pages. What is the easiest solution to my problem??? Please tell me I don't have to make every file only 2-4 pages long!! Cathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluto Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Hi I used PDF suite http://www.pdf-suite.com/default.aspx?lang=en You can download and try for a month free Here you can use the add files and compress them into small size feature Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimm Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 First you reduce the size of your Jpegs, that can be done using MS office picture manager.Once the size is reduced use a professional tool such as adobe acrobat 9 or foxit pdf maker. There are settings in these applications which enable you to define the size of your intended pdf file Need any help just PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cathy & Paul Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 Hi Guys, I have just found a way of reducing the DPI (mine were on 600!!), I can either choose 144DPI or 76DPI?? But not 96DPI as DIAC state. Does anyone know if 76 will be ok? Thanks Cathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ack Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 we are not at that stage yet (I wish we were!!!) but I heard that when they are scanned in that the edges must be visible..is this true? Also to scan them in black and white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebourvellec Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 we are not at that stage yet (I wish we were!!!) but I heard that when they are scanned in that the edges must be visible..is this true?Also to scan them in black and white You need to scan in colour - if you scan in black & white you need to get the documents notirised, but not if scan in colour.
