Uploading
PDF File in ECF
(without or with attachments)
Last Updated: January 2020
Without Attachments:
The
preferred
method for attaching a PDF when
filing is to scan all
documents including attachments
as one
PDF. The preferred document
order is: Motion (including any named exhibits), Notice,
and Proof of Service.
When
filing documents in one PDF:
Select the main
PDF document by clicking on the Browse
button. This will allow you to browse to where
you have the PDF document saved on your computer.
Right-click on
the PDF document - select Open
from the drop-down menu. Adobe Acrobat will open the
PDF document so that you can view and verify that it is the
correct one for your filing. Close the document (click
X in upper right corner).
Return to the
File Upload Screen - make
sure your PDF document it still highlighted.
Click on the
Open button. ECF
will enter the document name/path in the Filename field.
Leave the "Attachments
to Document" radio button checked "No" and
click on Next.
With
Attachments:
If your PDF is
too large, you can split the PDF into parts and attach the additional
PDFs to the same entry as follows:
Select your main
PDF document by clicking on the Browse
button. This will allow you to browse to where you have
the PDF document saved on your computer.
Right-click on
the PDF document - select Open
from the drop-down menu. Adobe Acrobat will open the
PDF document so that you can view and verify that it is the
correct one for your filing. Close the document (click X in upper right corner),
Return to the
File Upload Screen - make
sure your PDF document it still highlighted.
Click on the
Open button. ECF
will enter the document name/path in the Filename field.
Change the "Attachments to Document"
radio button from "No" to "Yes"
and click on Next.
The first
step in adding your attachment is to click on the Browse
button and browse to where you have the PDF document stored
on your computer. Again, follow steps 2-4.
The second
step is to identify your attached PDF document by either
selecting one of the options listed on the Type
drop-drop menu box OR
typing in a description of the PDF document in the Description box. (i.e.,
Exhibit A).
The third
step in adding your attached PDF document is to click
Add to List button.
Note: If you inadvertently attach the wrong
PDF document, you can click (highlight) on the wrong PDF
document and click on the Remove from List
button.
Click on the
Next button to proceed
with filing.
