Creating a pdf document with jpg images for uploading to the visa website using google docs.

This is how I get my bank statements or passport in to a single pdf file to upload as one document. (for free)

I would discourage anyone from using the 'free online' pdf tools to do this.

Google is bad enough with your private data but at least it's a known website.

Would you honestly trust your bank or passport details to a completely random website?

Top tip, delete the document from google once you have downloaded it.

Another top tip, if the visa website comes back and asks you for more information. I was asked to provide a drivers licence because they thought I was driving across the border to enter. I was going in by hire car and driver. I created a text document the same way, using google docs, explaining that I was not driving and uploaded that as a pdf to the area of the visa site they wanted my licence submitted. That seemed to satisfy them. They did not ask for more evidence. There is no way to contact them or ask quations so uploading a document to question them is the only way I have found to get over a couple of the hurdles I expereinced when I applied for my Non O.
