An image only instrument is made up of 1 or more PDF documents attached to an instrument.
Check your PDF
Before you upload PDFs check:
- they’re clear and easy to read, both on screen and when printed
- they have the necessary information to support the instrument
- individual PDFs do not exceed 10 MB in size
- all PDFs combined total no more than 20 MB in size.
Registration may be refused under Section 39 (1)(a) of the Land Transfer Act 2017 if images are:
- not clear and easy to read
- too large to include all the instrument’s data.
File size limits for New Landonline
You can attach multiple images up to a total file size of 20MB. Individual PDFs cannot exceed 10 MB in size.
Large files may take a while to upload and may time out when you preview an instrument.
To reduce your file size, consider:
- reducing any images used in the PDF
- changing coloured PDFs into black and white
- compressing your PDFs.
