I have a JPG file, scanned image of a document. It is a 2-page document and I united them in Photoshop. Now the JPG file is only 500KB, and the image quality is good. The JPG file's dimensions are 2481×5152 pixels
But the application form I'm uploading this document requires a *.PDF file format. I can think of two ways here :
1) Make a LaTeX document out of the image
2) Extract the image as PDF with Photoshop.
The 1st option does not work for me. Latex always adds extra padding and margin to the image, so the image is not readable anymore.
The second option, I tried, but photoshop Extracts a 40MB file, or a 130KB file (Smallest File Size in the PDF settings), but then the image in the PDF is not readable anymore.
Does somebody know a good setting in this menu, that will produce a PDF file less than 5MB, and with good quality?
Thanks for any help !

Download one of the PDF printer drivers, such as Nitro or PrimoPDF, and just open your image in Photoshop and print it with the PDF driver. We use these a lot to make excellent quality, small PDFs to email to customers.
