Preparing Grant Application Supporting Documents
Researchers applying for grants must submit budgets, CVs, institutional letters, and project narratives as a single PDF package. Funding agencies have strict page limits, formatting requirements, and file size caps.
Workflow
- Prepare each required document section according to the agency's formatting guidelines
- Export all sections as individual PDFs
- Use the PDF Merger to combine sections in the order specified by the agency
- Use the PDF Page Organizer to verify page counts against the agency's limits
- Use PDF Compression to ensure the combined file meets the upload size limit
- Use PDF Metadata Editor to add the grant application ID and PI name
- Upload the finalized PDF to the grant submission portal
