Just had someone send me a 6-page questionnaire PDF through some web interface thing.Not a PDF form, just a PDF, and the reply thing only let me attach certain file formats, with a 3MB file size limit - i.e. likely larger than, say, 6 photos from a phone cam or a scanned print-out would be.
I ended up filling out the form as a 600dpi image in an image editor and converting it to 1-bit then saving as PDF to come in under the file size limit.
How are normal people supposed to use this?
