The issue is that you took something that is in a text format, and you scanned it into an Image format.
Uncompressed images are usually very large. You could use MSPAINT and save it as a different file type (JPG is a compressed format) and that will make it much smaller.
But, what you really should do is see if the scanner software has text-recognition built in. That way you can save it as a word document and be able to edit the resume.

If you scanned the resume in using a sanner, you have converted them to pictures of the resume pages, rather than being text. That will make the files huge.
You need to retype the resume in a word processor (such as MS Word) and save them in that format (doc extension). If you do not have Word, go to http://openoffice.org and download the free clone of Word called Open Office.
If you send the resume as a doc file it will greatly reduce the size. Plus most businesses are better able to open and read text files then they are picture files.

I have not heard of any software that splits PDF files to smaller parts, but there are some freeware/shareware software that can split ANY TYPE OF FILE into smaller pieces... Use Google to search for them, and use "FILE SPLITTER FREEWARE" as keyword. Best of luck

Use WinRAR and make a rar file with highest compression.

It a matter of no: of pages....U can try reducing the font size and mail it,which will result in lesser no of pages being sent...Or zip the file and send it...

As the others said, using Winzip, or WinRAR are the best options. Get either from www.download.com
