Absolutely — password-protected PDFs are standard format compatible with all PDF viewers. The recipient needs only the correct password to open the file.
Can I compress my BIR Form 1701 before uploading to eFPS?
Yes — the BIR eFPS portal has file size limits for tax return attachments. Compressing your BIR Form 1701, supporting schedules, and PSA certificates to under 2 MB prevents upload errors and ensures your Philippine tax return submission is accepted.
