How to do it

  1. Choose your PDF in the box above.
  2. Wait while each page is measured and re-rendered. Long documents take a little time.
  3. Read the result: it says what was done and whether the text is still selectable.
  4. Tap Download.

Common mistakes

Scanning at a very high DPI first.
A 600 DPI scan is far larger than it needs to be. 200 DPI is plenty for a form.
Merging every certificate into one file when only one was asked for.
Check what the form wants. A smaller, correct file beats a big complete one.

This is what the file is now. Whether a portal accepts it is up to the portal.
