Check an application PDF
Check PDF file size, page orientation and extractable text privately in your browser before a university or job application.
Use the receiving organisation’s instructions. These tools prepare files; they do not submit an application or certify a document.
File contents and filenames stay in this tab. No account, server upload or automatic saving. Downloads remain wherever you save them.
Choose files to begin. Nothing is uploaded.
How to use this tool
- Choose one PDF from your device.
- Enter the receiving portal’s file-size limit, if known.
- Review page checks and previews, then open the original at full size.
Before you submit
Text detection does not certify accessibility, authenticity or acceptance. Scanned documents may be accepted by a university even when no text is detected.
Keep an unchanged original. Check the downloaded copy for missing pages, cropped content, readable text and the portal’s size limit. Password-protected or damaged PDFs are not supported. Limits are 20 MB per file, 40 MB combined, 12 files and 80 PDF pages; complex files may exceed your device’s available memory.
Common questions
Are my documents uploaded?
No. File processing happens in this browser tab. Files are not saved automatically or sent to CourseToJob. Clearing the workspace removes its file references; downloaded copies remain on your device.
Will a university accept the output?
Acceptance depends on the university and application route. Check whether it requires separate documents, certified translations, original scans or a specific file format. Do not alter evidence or remove required pages.
What should international applicants check?
Confirm qualification and translation requirements with the admissions team. Our international entry requirements guide and application document checklist help you identify the right questions.
