e-Conference visa : hint on how to resizel Invitation from organizer .pdf

[Joost van Baal-Ilić <joostvb-debian@mdcc.cx>]

Hi,

If you have your Infopark Invitation Latter in a 2,5MB .pdf file, you'll run
into problems trying to upload it: The form at
https://indianvisaonline.gov.in/evisa/DocumentUpload gives:

 "Document size exceeds 300KB. Please upload file smaller than 300KB."
 "Only PDF files can be uploaded. Please try again."

Here's the evil hack I've done to work around that:

root@nusku:/etc/ImageMagick-6# vi policy.xml

comment out the line

<policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="PDF" />

Run

 convert infopark-invitation-letter.pdf infopark-invitation-letter.jpg
 convert infopark-invitation-letter.jpg infopark-invitation-letter-small.pdf

This gave me a 142 KB .pdf file.

HTH, Bye,

Joost
