02 August 2025 Hey! For converting Form 16 files downloaded as ZIP from TRACES into PDF, here’s what you can do:

### Step-by-step to convert TRACES Form 16 to PDF:

1. **Download the Form 16 ZIP file** from the TRACES portal.

2. **Use the official TRACES PDF Utility:**

* TRACES provides a **dedicated PDF converter utility** to convert the downloaded Form 16 XML files (inside the ZIP) into a readable PDF.
* You can download this utility from the TRACES website itself ([https://www.tdscpc.gov.in/app/login.xhtml](https://www.tdscpc.gov.in/app/login.xhtml)).
* Usually under “Downloads” or “Utilities” section.

3. **Installation:**

* Once downloaded, install the utility on your computer.
* Make sure you have Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed since the utility is Java-based.

4. **Usage:**

* Open the utility and select the Form 16 XML file extracted from the ZIP.
* Convert it to PDF format using the “Convert” or similar button in the utility.

5. **If download is slow or failing:**

* Try using a different browser (Chrome/Firefox/Edge).
* Check your internet speed or firewall settings.
* Download during non-peak hours.
* Alternatively, try downloading from a different system or network.

### If you still face issues:

* Share the error message or problem you face during download or conversion.
* Ensure your system’s Java is updated (Java 8 recommended).
* Clear browser cache or try incognito mode.
