I scannned my trust into PDF format.  It is 11MB.  Can I upload a file that large to the ATF.  Am I required to send the entire trust to the ATF or only certain parts of it?

As far as I know they want the entire trust. With my trust I scanned it at a lower DPI and it came out under 3mb. I remember reading in BigWaylons thread that the atf preferred it to be under a certain size, but I don't recall what that size was. I would try to scan it again in a lower quality and upload the whole thing in one file. Hope this helps.

Each file to upload needs to be 3Mb or less. On the scanner I had access to at the time, my trust was broken into 5 PDF files. I named them... (Trust Name)-1of5, (Trust Name)-2of5, etc... so that there would be some indication to the folks looking at it if they had all of the pieces.

I also added a photo of the factory markings in case they had a question about the model or serial number stamping.

Hope this helps,

I had the same issue. Change the scanner setting to 100 dpi or even 75 dpi and it will be below the 3MB and still legible. I then used a website called pdfmerge to bring them all together into one document, saved and uploaded it

3MB maximum.

You'll have to make it smaller.

3MB max per file, 10 files max.

200dpi in B&W is what worked for me. Easily readable, and 30 pages are 1.84MB.
