Use compatible file formats to ensure documents and exhibits display correctly and maintain quality during review and production.
DocReviewPad is designed for organizing, reviewing, and coding documents for discovery and trial preparation. For best results, use Adobe Acrobat PDF for all documents and photographs, and consider splitting large PDFs into smaller, logical sets before importing.
Document and Text Formats
✔️ Portable Document Format (.PDF) - PDF is the standard format for document production. It preserves the layout, text, and graphics of your original files, making it ideal for review and Bates stamping in DocReviewPad.
Password-protected PDFs must have the password removed before importing, as encrypted files cannot be opened in DocReviewPad.
For more information on dealing with PDFs, especially large PDF files, please review Best Practice Recommendations for DocReviewPad in our Help Center.
✔️ Text File (.TXT) - Lightweight files typically used for deposition and trial transcripts in TranscriptPad.
Formatting is not retained. If a transcript is imported into DocReviewPad, formatting is not retained, but page and line numbering will match the court reporter’s official transcript.
Image Formats
✔️ Tagged Image File Format (.TIF, .TIFF)
✔️ Joint Photographic Experts Group (.JPG, .JPEG)
✔️ Portable Network Graphics (.PNG)
Compressed Files
✔️ Compressed or Zipped File (.ZIP) - ZIP files can contain multiple files and folders. When imported into DocReviewPad, the folder structure is preserved, making it an efficient way to transfer large document sets.
Unsupported File Types
DocReviewPad does not support Word documents, videos, or audio files. If your file type isn’t listed above, convert it to a compatible format before importing.
