The SEC issued rules that governing the second stage of EDGAR modernization, which became effective May 30, 2000. The SEC rules allow official EDGAR filings to be submitted in HTML or ASCII formats. According to the rules, EDGAR filings may consist of more than one file format (e.g., a mixed HTML and ASCII submission). In addition to the official HTML or ASCII filing, filers may include an “unofficial” PDF file of any document that is part of the filing. Filers may also include hyperlinks within an HTML or PDF document and graphics are also permitted.
