Federal Courts: CM/ECF TO TRANSITION TO PDF/A

Public Access to Court Electronic Records

The Judiciary is planning to change the technical standard for filing documents in the Case Management and Electronic Case Filing (CM/ECF) system from PDF to PDF/A. This change will improve the archiving and preservation of case-related documents. Courts currently accept PDF/A documents. However, a target date for requiring that all new documents be filed in PDF/A has not been set. Some common questions about the change are answered at the link below. For questions or comments, contact the PACER Service Center by telephone at (800) 676-6856 or email atpacer@psc.uscourts.gov.
