Uploading Documents -- No pdf allowed!?
Posted: Mon Nov 08, 2010 9:09 pm
I am finally starting to fill in the applications for various law schools, and of course I need to upload both a personal statement and a resume. So I go to the section on the LSAC application system for uploading these items. Where it lists "supported document types," Adobe Acrobat (pdf) is not supported. It then adds: "Note: Pdf file format is not listed, because pdf's may contain items that cannot be merged with other documents." (I have no idea what they heck they mean by that.)
As most of you all probably know, pdf is the one format that lets you ensure that your formatting comes out OK, and what the recipient sees is exactly what you saw as the sender. So, I want to send pdf. (As far as I know, Word doc files and all other can come out with different formatting on different PCs.)
So, is this for real? If I try to upload a pdf file, will the system really reject it, or can you upload pdf anyway? And if not, what formats are people using, or how do you address this?
Thanks in advance for all replies.
