Hi

I am trying to send my cover letter and resume away but apparently it is too big to send through craigs list(my computer says the total size is 500kb) as it has a 600kb limit(so small should be at least a meg).

Hi there. You recently tried to email Some job Email, an anonymous craigslist address. However, your message was too big to be sent through our system.

Craigslist has a 600KB limit on the messages we'll send. Please reduce the size of your mail and try again.

Thanks for using craigslist.

So when I convert my word 2007(.docx) files to pdf they become huge. Like they got from 32kb to 320kb. So is there a way I can either get around craigslist limits or compress my pdfs a bit to make it happy.

I don't want to send zips and stuff since the person who gets it might not even know what to do.

I rather not send .docx since not sure if will have office 2007 or the compatibility view installed and I rather just send it as pdf(as some place require it anyways to be in pdfs).

Thanks
