Great site if you need to convert to a PDF, compress, merge or resize a PDF for free.

Free Online PDF Converter, Batch Convert doc, docx to PDF, PDF/A or Image, Doc Converter.


There is a max file size per upload, so the best way to avoid this is to have your document in word (doc.docx,etc) format.

The instructions are basic but if your PDF is still too large after converting (before compression, 5MB limit.FREE Version) choose the

Output Format: PDF/A

Output Intent: sRGB

this *should* take your 5+MB PDF down to 100-200kb.
