Converting Word Processing Documents to Portable Document Format (PDF)

Documents filed in CM/ECF must be filed in PDF (Portable Document Format) rather than a word processing format such as WordPerfect or Word. This format is used because, among other things, PDF documents retain the pagination, formatting, and fonts of the original document; in other words, the document will look the same no matter what type of computer is used to view it and what printer is used to print it.
