Before you can submit your application, you have to attach Annexes to the application form. This page explains the types of annexes and how to attach them to the Web Application Forms.
You should only attach the supporting documents that are required/relevant for the type of organisation or key action in question. For further reference, please check the national requirements that your National Agency may have set and the applicable rules for your type of organisation.
To add the relevant supporting documents, click on Annexes in the side menu. The Annexes screen will open. At the top of the annexes screen you will find specific information on the maximum number of files, maximum file sizes and total file size allowed for your action type. As those vary per action type, read this information carefully. The Declaration of Honour is required for all applications. Note: Check if your National Agency accepts digital signature. If yes, you can use the digital signature instead of printing and hand signing. Depending on the key action you will be asked to provide additional documents. The form will provide the information on the required documents per each action. For example: For any other files you want/have to upload and for which no template is provided, click the ADD FILE button at the bottom of the screen and attach the files in the same way. Images are often large files or can increase the size of a document significantly. These images can be a standalone file or attached inside a document like a Word or PDF file. Here are some ideas that can help you with reducing file sizes for various document types. There are a lot of free online tools to compress big PDF files. You can easily find them by searching "compress PDF file" online. You can use the most convenient one for your criteria: using your language, with more or less warranty of confidentiality, etc. DOC/DOCX Word document with embedded image ODF documents Scanned documents Do you need colour? Is grayscale or B/W enough? Do you need a good resolution (ppm/ppi)? Generally 300 dpi are enough for images and even less for text. Do you save the file in a compressed format? Depending of the tool you use it could be difficult to know the answer and you may need to make different tests to compare the resulted file size. Please note that *.JPG is a compressed image file format. The output in PDF could be compressed or not (if it is not compressed, you can apply the solution above).Quick steps
Detailed steps
Steps 1 Click "Annexes" in the side menu.
2 Annexing a Declaration of Honour.

6 Technical guidelines for Annexes.
There are some constraints for adding annexes, such as the maximum allowed number of attachments, maximum file size and the total size of all attached files. For each action type, this information is displayed at the top of the annexes screen. The maximum total file size can be up to 100 MB, but not for all action types.If you exceed these limits your form will not be valid and you will be unable submit the application. The allowed file types are:
Tip If you need to attach a lot of documents to your application, you should scan, group and attach them so that they fit the available slots for annexes. An example for such a scenario would be the participating organisations' mandates. You can group all scanned mandates into a single PDF file and attach it to the form. Non-Latin characters should be avoided in the file name of attachments.
7 How to decrease the total size of documents?
Recent versions of Microsoft Word have an option to compress one selected image or all images in the document. The location of this option can change from one version to another. Please consult the relevant Microsoft Word documentation or Internet sources for your specific version.
Since version 4.0, LibreOffice has the option to compress all images, like Microsoft Word.
If you still have the original file you can rescan the document with a lower quality. To help you with the decision if this is an option, ask yourself:
Remember: Any additional effort to reduce the size of your documents will also make the submission faster.8 Access attachments after submission.
