hey guys so im trying to upload a domicile (residency) form up to LSAC but it says i cant upload the given type.

however what they do is provide us with a domicile form (which is pdf in the first place) and want us to upload that.

so did anyone run into this issue or know how to solve it?

thanks so much

Open PDF, save as image, insert into word doc. May not try but worth a shot.

This is what I am trying to do right now for Indiana. I have the image saved in a word doc. However, every time I go to upload it, it freezes and I have to restart my browser. However, all other uploads on applications are working fine. I don't know what it is!

Try a new browser, I.E., Firefox, Chrome, whatever.

What I did for Indiana was download the PDF, transfer it to OneNote, then copy and paste as an image to Word, then download. Worked well, but I might have gone about it in a roundabout way. Just a suggestion.

I just tried Safari (been using Chrome) and still not working! I even tried saving it in .RTF and it doesn't work. I am getting so annoyed!

Nope. That functionality is built into a Mac. Try printing and scanning it into a tiff or jpg. You could also try a screen shot of it up and edit it.

I don't think you need Pro. Try looking through the tools available. You need to be able to select a rectangular portion of the document. then Copy/paste.

If not , just use print screen to take a screenshot and paste it into word.

Pro has a convert to Word doc option. Just find a computer with it. Super easy.
