Your document may be too big. Make sure they’re less than 9 MB in size. If your documents are too large, here are some things you can try to reduce their size(s): Pictures and/or logos are known for taking up space, so reducing their size or eliminating them altogether is an easy way to decrease size. If you’re scanning in a transcript, you should also have the option to reduce your pixel size and make it smaller. Note: some transcripts are coded to prohibit scanning or copying. Converting files into an Adobe PDF format is another great way to reduce your document size. If you already have a version of Adobe on your computer, you can print the document to PDF (selecting PDF Printer in your Print Properties box) to convert a Word doc to a PDF doc.
