Schengen 2MB PDF Rule: Practical Preparation Workflow

A frequent Schengen issue is passing size limits while keeping scans readable. Apply a predictable sequence to reduce re-uploads.

Workflow

  • Merge supporting pages in logical order.
  • Compress the merged file to get under 2MB.
  • Re-check signature pages and stamps for readability.

Checklist

  • Use one final merged PDF where allowed.
  • Name files clearly by document type.
  • Keep page orientation consistent.
