For what it is worth, it is the PDF of my license that I downloaded from the
FCC website that I, in turn, tried to upload to the Remotehams site, and it
would not accept it. That is why I ended up printing out a copy of my
license from the PDF and then, scanning it back in and saving it as a .jpeg
file type and uploading that to the Remotehams website, and it worked just
fine.

You can get the official pdf of your license from the FCC site directly 

As a matter of fact now when you renew that's all you get unless you
specifically request an official printed copy.  They want us to save the FCC
a few cents and print our own.
