Make a scan smaller in a scanned cover letter
A cover letter is mostly the same from one application to the next. The parts that must change, like the date, the hiring manager, the company and the paragraph about the role, can be edited straight in the PDF. Scans are big. Shrink the file for email or upload limits.

Questions people ask
+Why are scans so large?
Every page is a full picture, often in colour at high resolution.
+Do I need to convert the scan to Word first?
No. MythosPDF edits the scanned page itself. There is no conversion, so the page keeps its look.
