Seeing more courts adopt stricter PDF requirements — searchable text, exhibit bookmarks, and 25 MB caps — which is changing how we assemble motion packets and manage exhibit sets. I saw two filings rejected this week for missing bookmarks, so we added a pre-filing QC step: 300 dpi scans with OCR, Bates verification, and a hyperlinked index; are others revising checklists as judges roll out these orders? General information only — consult a qualified attorney and your court’s rules for case-specific guidance.
And i built an Acrobat Action Wizard that auto-bookmarks from exhibit headers and runs “Optimize PDF” with OCR only on scanned pages; it keeps filings under 25 MB and searchable, but don’t re‑OCR native PDFs or you’ll bloat and garble text. @OP, have you tried that?
Borrowed a page from “low-tech approaches”: we keep a laminated one-page competency rubric on the sim cart, tick it with a dry-erase, then snap a photo and upload when Wi‑Fi’s back. It keeps evaluation consistent and timestamped; if you need numbers later, copy the marks into a spreadsheet at your desk. @Guide your router trick pairs well with this for a no‑drama debrief.
