How do I create a PDF file and how do I ensure that the printed copy of the document matches the public/docketed version?
When creating a new document to be filed, first change the printer from the default printer (e.g., HPLJ4000) to your “PDF Writer” printer by selecting File/Print and then selecting your “PDF Writer” as the current printer. Compose your document and when finished, select File/Print. Name your file and click OK. The file will be created with a .pdf extension. In doing this, you are not actually printing your document to a printer; instead you are saving it to a file. To print a physical copy of the document, open the newly created .pdf file and print to your local printer. Always print from this PDF file, rather than the word processed file that created it to ensure that the paper and electronic versions are consistent with each other. Alternatively, you can set the printer to your “PDF Writer” after the document has been created to save it to a PDF file, but there is a possibility of introducing a formatting discrepancy, if, for instance, a page break is not the same in the PDF file as
