How to Compress PDF for LHDN Submission (Under 2MB)
A complete guide on shrinking your tax documents for the LHDN MyTax portal without losing readability.
Meeting LHDN's 2MB File Size Limit
When filing your income tax in Malaysia, the LHDN (Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri) portal often restricts uploads to 2MB per file. Scanned receipts and EA forms can easily exceed this limit.
Optimization Strategy
To get the best balance of size and clarity for tax officers:
- Use Smart Mode to keep your text crisp.
- Set Image Quality to 60-70%.
- Set Resolution Scale to 75%.
Common LHDN Documents to Compress
- EA Form: Usually a single page, but high-resolution scans can be bulky.
- Donation Receipts: Multiple scanned receipts should be merged first, then compressed.
- Medical Reports: Often contain many pages; use Tuko to stay under the limit.
