A Challenge...

[Jason1]

I have been busting my brain trying to figure this one out, and I cant. I need to make the attached file (a college transcript) into either a .doc or .pdf file, but I also need it to be 168kb or smaller. Thank you and good luck.

whats the format of the file to begin with? Just a Jpeg?

It's just an image, you can insert it into a pdf or doc file using microsoft word...just copy and paste it into the file.

It is just an image though, there's no way you're going to be able to edit the text fields or anything, ever, without using photoshop or something.

What do you have to bowl to get an A in bowling?

Yea it is a Jpeg. Right im not trying to edit text or do anything illegal here. I'm simply trying to get the file size down to 168kb while also making it a .doc or .pdf file. I have pasted it into word and it comes in at roughly 256kb's...so yea I can convert the file the the correct format but it is still too large...any ideas?

Oh and Neo, for bowling it was basically show up to class and know the rules of bowling via an easy test at the end, and you got an A. You could bowl all gutter balls every day and still get an A.

Reduce the size of the Jpeg (in Photoshop or equivalent), then put it into Word or PDF.

EDIT: Here ya go.

Used Photoshop to crop the top and bottom white space. Then did an image resize with constrained proportions to 600 pixels wide. (Attached jpg)

Then used the free Bullzip to print it out to PDF. (Attached PDF)
