How To Compress JPEG Files Using MS Office Picture Manager

Actually I got this problem while I filled the online job’s form in JobsMalaysia.

Based on the picture above, the maximum size of certificate (in form of JPEG file) that I can upload into my job’s form is only 200KB. It give me a little problem when I have the JPEG file with more than 200KB in size. Just to let you know, my JPEG file actually come from PDF file format. Tonight I will show you how I compress it using Microsoft Office Picture Manager.
