#2 How to reduce the size of a PDF?

_______________________________________________________

To submit your manuscript in PDF (or upload it in the right + compressed format; File Size Limit is 2 MB = same as 2,000 KB) I recommend you to use the FREE online converter tool SmallPDF https://smallpdf.com, which I actually use in my own business.

Can't wait to hear from you!
