Some of the documents which will be included in the electronic submission to the court will be PDF image files, rather than PDF text files. What are the recommended scanner or file settings?
There are several factors to consider for those documents that must be imaged because a word-processed version does not exist. The quality of the document when scanned is determined by the level of detail recorded by the scanner. This detail is referred to as the resolution, which is measured by the dots per inch (dpi). A higher resolution: • is slower to scan • creates a document with a larger file size. This, in turn, causes the loading and retrieval of the document from CM/ECF to be slower. It is important to find a resolution that will provide a high quality document, with a file size that does not hamper the length of time it takes to scan, load, and retrieve the document. CM/ECF project recommends 200 dpi resolution. Another factor to consider is the mode of scanning. It should always be done in black and white, so that the file size will be as small as possible.
