Unable to upload log files - exceed size limit - how to shrink

I can't upload log files for my inquiry. The regular one is 132KB & the Hardening one is 548KB.
I converted each to PDF & optimized/file shrunk the Hardening one(it's still 170KB, so too large still) and the regular one (to 64KB) but when trying to upload, your site won't accept PDFs so it won't work either.

Can I select parts of them to upload? What parts are needed?

Please help.

P.S. I was unable to post this in the Posting Guide section.

How about simply ZIPPING them? There's absolutely no need to convert them to PDF, they're useless to us, it's akin going Paris-to-Amsterdam via Moscow... ;)

Will do. Do you only want/need hardening.log, or should I provide both the normal log and the hardening.log? I posted the substantive Question in Windows Hosting & Windows Guest. Do you have advice as to which forum to leave the post in and which to delete it in? I gave it a little different title in each, based on the forum.

I saw that you edited your post in the "Windows Guests", and I've removed the whole thread, there was nothing of importance over there, leaving only your thread on the "Windows Hosts" section. Keep in mind that according to the forum rules, duplicate posts are not allowed.
