Professional Workflow Context

Courts nationwide enforce stringent electronic filing (CM/ECF, PACER) specifications: documents must strictly adhere to PDF standards, omit unneeded metadata, and not exceed file limits (typically 10MB to 50MB per document). Crucially, ethical rules forbid uploading confidential client matters to unvetted cloud converters.

Workflow FAQs

Does using PDFMill violate client attorney-client privilege?

No. Because files are never uploaded to our servers or stored on third-party cloud infrastructure, attorney-client privilege is preserved under Rule 1.6.

Does PDFMill strip hidden metadata and author information?

Yes. The compression engine scrubs title, author, producer, and historical XMP packet trees during rebuild.
