Does ECF accept large documents?

• Yes.  Each PDF document filed in ECF can not exceed 5 megabytes (MB) in size, but you can file several 5 MB files as attachments as part of one filing event.

• If the document is too large, split the document into 5 MB sections. Make sure that each is a PDF file.

• If you need to scan your documents again, check that the resolution of your scanner is set to 200 to 240 dpi and that the color is set to black and white.

To check the file size:

• With the document open in Acrobat, you can see a summary that will tell you a number of things about the document file, including its size. To do this:

• Select File, Document Properties, or keyboard shortcut CTRL D to open the Document Properties box. Then look under "Description" to find the file size.

• File sizes are listed in kilobytes (KB), and about 1000 kilobytes equals 1 megabyte.
