Why are there different document formats for filed documents on the SEDAR website?
A. In developing SEDAR, the Canadian Securities Administrators tried to balance the needs of filers seeking a way to efficiently file their documents on SEDAR against the desire to make the documents easily available to the public. When SEDAR was first initiated, CDS determined that the three most common electronic document formats used by filers were MS Word, WordPerfect and PDF. The decision was made to adopt these common formats as the standard for SEDAR filings. With Release 6 of the SEDAR filing application in September 1999, PDF became the only acceptable filing format for filers’ documents. Documents prior to September 1999 will remain in their original filing format.
