Reducing Receipt Image Size

If a receipt for an expense line in your report cannot be sent -- for example, if Concur denies the attachment, if you get an error message when hovering over the receipt, or if the report is auto-rejected -- you may need to reduce the receipt’s PDF file size. Concur provides this note about managing receipts:

    The amount a file is reduced will vary. It would not be uncommon to see a 5 MB file reduced to 800 KB via optimization. Although there are other ways to reduce file size, optimization is the easiest and most readily available to users.
