Rule 21.040 - FORMAT OF DOCUMENTS TO BE FILED ELECTRONICALLY(1) A document submitted electronically to the court must be in the form of a text-searchable Portable Document Format (PDF) or a text-searchable Portable Document Format/A (PDF/A) file that does not exceed 25 megabytes. The PDF or PDF/A document must allow copying and pasting text into another document, as much as practicable. A document that exceeds the size limit must be broken down and submitted as separate files that do not exceed 25 megabytes each. A filer submitting separate files under this section must include in the Filing Comments field for each submission a description that clearly identifies the part of the document that the file represents, for example, "Motion for Summary Judgment, part 1 of 2."(2) Except as provided in subsections (a) or (b) of this section or in UTCR 24.040(3)(a), when a document to be electronically filed incorporates a documentary exhibit, an affidavit, a declaration, a certificate of service, or another document, the electronic filing must be submitted as a unified single PDF file, rather than as separate electronically filed documents, to the extent practicable. An electronic filing submitted under this section that exceeds 25 megabytes must comply with section (1) of this rule.(a) If an electronic filing consists of a motion or similar document and a corresponding proposed order, judgment, or any other document that requires court signature, the filer must submit the document requiring court signature through the eFiling system as a separate electronically filed document from the motion. A filer submitting separate documents under this subsection must include in the Filing Comments field for each submission a description that clearly identifies the filing, for example, "Motion for Summary Judgment" and "Proposed Order Granting Motion for Summary Judgment."(b) If an electronic filing is filed in a case that is not confidential by statute or rule, but includes an incorporated document that is confidential or otherwise exempt from disclosure, the filer must submit the incorporated document through the eFiling system as a separate electronically filed document. When submitting a confidential document through the eFiling system under this subsection, a filer must designate the document as confidential. A filer submitting separate documents under this subsection must include in the Filing Comments field for each submission a description that clearly identifies the filing, for example, "Motion for Stay" and "Confidential Attachment to Motion for Stay." A filer otherwise eFiling any confidential document, or any document in a case that is confidential by statute or rule, also must comply with UTCR 21.070(6) and (7).(c) The reference in section (2) to an affidavit and a declaration applies to only an affidavit or a declaration that is an incorporated document.(3) When viewed in an electronic format and when printed, a submitted document must comply with the requirements of ORCP 9 E and UTCR 2.010 except as to any requirement that a document bear a physical signature when filed.(4) When submitting an electronic filing that creates a new case or adds a party to an existing case,(a) A filer must enter into the "Add Party" screen the names of all known parties or all parties being added; and(b) A filer must enter party names in proper case, for example, "John Doe" and not "JOHN DOE."(5) The court may reject submitted documents that do not comply with these provisions as provided in UTCR 21.080(5).Or.
