How do I check the file size of a PDF document?

Answer: 

 1.  Open the document in Acrobat.

2. Select FilePropertiesSummary OR FilePropertiesDescription.  Control D is a shortcut.

3. The File Size (in kilobytes or megabytes) of the document will be displayed.

 

PDF documents should be 20,000 KB (20MB) or less.  Please keep in mind that this is the maximum upload size for all documents contained in your filing. You may need to reduce your resolution (200 dpi or less) and use black and white or grayscale and NOT color.

Many readers will not be able to open a single file larger than 10MB. Please consider breaking the file(s) into smaller files (less than 10MB). Otherwise, you may be called upon to provide copies outside of CM/ECF or to Amend your Filing (this time uploading smaller files).
