On mac, efiling NY returns an error. Your Transmission Didn't Go Through

I have two custom pdfs attached to NY return. Could it be related?

By the way, I had used Windows version for several years and it worked fine with attachment.

On mac, efiling NY returns an error. Your Transmission Didn't Go Through

For anyone suffering from the similar, here is how I resolved:

 

The root cause was the size of pdf. I was trying to attach one 21MB pdf. Splitting it into two 11MB pdfs didn't work either.

 

I went online, used adobe pdf compressor, and reduced the size to 2.8MB. Transmission succeeded.

 

The error message from turbotax - 'cancelled' or 'unexpected transmission problems' - is surely cryptic.  I've wasted a few hours due to sub-par quality of the product.
