A flattened PDF is simply one in which all the layers are merged together into a single flat layer. <br>Many simple PDFs are already flattened - all the information is contained in a single layer. Uploading a PDF that isn’t flattened may result in an eRA Commons error message.

Limits measured in lines of text are not systematically enforced. In the case of the Project Summary/Abstract and Narrative attachments on the R&R Other Project Information form, we only systematically enforce egregious issues (text exceeds one page). Our manual checks would not remove an application from consideration if only the header information put the content over the specified line limit.</li><li>When preparing an administrative supplement application, follow the <a href="/grants-process/write-application/how-to-apply-application-guide/page-limits">Table of Page Limits</a> using the activity code of the parent award and any additional limits specified in the funding opportunity or a related notice.</li><li>Do not use the appendix or other sections of your application to circumvent page limits (<a href="/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-11-080.html">NOT-OD-11-080</a>).</li></ul><h2 id="papersizeandmargins">Paper Size and Margins</h2><ul><li>Use paper (page) size no larger than <em>standard letter paper size (8 ½" x 11”)</em>.</li><li>Provide at least one-half inch margins (<em>½"</em>) — top, bottom, left, and right — for all pages. No applicant-supplied information can appear in the margins.</li></ul><h2 id="scanning">Scanning</h2><ul><li>Avoid scanning text documents to produce the required PDFs. It is best to produce documents using your word processing software and then convert the documents to PDF. Scanning paper documents may hamper automated processing of your application for agency analysis and reporting.</li><li>We recognize that sometimes scanning is necessary, especially when including letters of support or other signed documents on business letterhead.</li></ul><h2 id="securityfeatures">Security Features</h2><ul><li>Our systems must be able to open and edit your attached documents in order to generate your assembled application image for agency processing and funding consideration.</li><li>Disable all security features in your PDF documents. Do not encrypt or password protect your documents. Using these features to protect your documents also prevents us from opening and processing them.</li></ul><h2 id="singlevsmulti">Single versus Multi-Column Page Format</h2><ul><li>A single-column page format easily adapts to various screen sizes and is highly encouraged.</li><li>Multi-column formats, especially for information spanning multiple pages, can be problematic for online review.</li></ul><h2 id="video">Video</h2><ul><li>Videos cannot be embedded in an application, but videos are accepted under limited circumstances as post-submission material.
