Can I upload PDFs to OneNote that are bigger than 200mb?

July 31, 2020 8:34 AM

I have been trying for so many hours and googled everywhere and couldn't figure it out. I have some text books that are over 200mb but OneNote won't let me insert it as a printout. My goal is to write and draw (annotate) my notes for class on the PDFs. I use windows/android so Notability is not an option, but I am open to other ideas, I already tried Joplin and I didn't like it. Is there a way I can upload PDFs larger than 200mb to OneNote? Is there another software that can?

You can use the "print as PDF" function to make files with fewer pages, which would reduce the filesize.

You could also use Adobe Cloud paid edition (might have to sign up for a 1-month subscription) and use Acrobat Pro to reduce the file size. There are also apps and various potentially sketchy websites that claim to reduce file size of PDFs.
