Document Conversion Pre-Upload Checklist

Overview: Use this checklist to ensure your document is ready for conversion. Running through these quick checks before uploading will prevent errors and ensure the highest quality results. 

Part 1: The "Must-Haves" (Critical)

If you cannot check these boxes, the conversion will fail.

  • [ ] Password Removed: The file is not password-protected or encrypted. (I can open it without entering a code).

  • [ ] File Integrity: The file opens correctly on my computer and is not corrupted.

  • [ ] Supported Format: The file is saved in a supported standard format (e.g., .DOCX, .PDF, etc.).

Part 2: Quality Assurance

If you cannot check these boxes, the document may look messy or contain errors after conversion.

  • [ ] Clean Text (No Scans): The document was created digitally (not a scanned image of a paper). Tip: If you can click and drag to highlight the text, it is digital.

  • [ ] Scanned Document Quality (If applicable): If it is a scan, the page is straight, the lighting is even, and the text is crisp and legible.

  • [ ] Standard Fonts: The document uses standard system fonts (e.g., Arial, Times New Roman, Calibri) rather than custom, downloaded fonts.

  • [ ] Simplified Layout: I have removed complex elements like nested tables, floating text boxes, or heavy background graphics where possible.


Quick Fix Guide

  • File Locked? Open > File > Save As (New Name).

  • Messy Scan? Retype the content or ask the sender for the original digital file.

  • Corrupted? Open in native app > Print to PDF > Upload the new PDF.
