how to create pdf USING andriod OR IpHONE

NOTE: Extremely large file sizes make sending and receiving difficult. Please reduce file size when creating PDF documents. Most photo defaults are high resolution which results in very large file sizes.  For tax purposes, grayscale or black and white, at approx. 150 dpi is sufficient for legibility. Here are three things to keep in mind when creating your PDF files:

  • Lower Resolution - 150 dpi
  • Grayscale mode - color is not necessary
  • Compression option - when available, use file compression when sending PDF files



See links below for help with reducing PDF file size.
