How do I zip my attachments to reduce file size?


 

Adding attachments to your message can increase the file size dramatically.  This is not desirable as many organizations have a maximum file size that they can receive.

 

One way of reducing the file size of documents is to compress them into a zip file.  The following instructions will allow you to zip your attachments.

 

Most attachments that you add to an email message can be compressed into a single zip file using Zetadocs PDF.

 

 

Step 1: Attach your document to your email message in the usual manner.

 

 

Step 2: Next, start the Zetadocs PDF Wizard. There are two ways to start the Zetadocs PDF Wizard:

 

i)

ii)

Alternatively, you can manually start the Zetadocs PDF Wizard by selecting the Convert Attachments button before you send the email.

Step 4: Select the Compress attached files into a single zip file option, and type the name of your new zip file in the text-box provided.

 

 

Step 4: Click the Next button to start compressing your attachment.
