Apple Pages is not an acceptable file type for Turnitin submissions. Please save your Pages document as a PDF or Word document.
Text saved as images is unacceptable.
If you have any images in your assignment submission, this can increase your file size. If you have images in your document, it may be possible to reduce your file size by reducing their resolutions. Please make sure to backup copies of your document and images before you make any changes. There is a compress image feature in Word via the Picture Tools tab (double-click on your image to bring up the image format tools).
