File requirements
Your script must be:
- a PDF file
- unlocked
- not password-protected
- under 20MB
What if my PDF is larger than 20MB?
If your PDF is larger than 20MB, compress it using a PDF compression tool, then upload the smaller version to Linus.
What if my script has a watermark?
Watermarks are usually fine.
If the upload doesn’t work properly, or if lines are missing, try uploading again using:
Advanced Options → Convert PDF Pages to Images
This can help Linus read watermarked or unusually formatted scripts more accurately.
What if my script is locked?
Linus can’t upload locked or password-protected PDFs.
If you’re on a Mac, you can try creating an unlocked copy:
- Open the PDF in Preview.
- Go to File.
- Select Print.
- Choose Save as PDF.
- Upload the new PDF to Linus.
Can I upload scanned scripts?
Yes. Scanned scripts can work as long as they are saved as a PDF.
This includes scripts that are:
- scanned
- photographed
- photocopied
- typed out in a document and exported as a PDF
