This document outlines software settings for the creation of PDF versions of study reports for submission to the EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs. Whereas focus is given to the process of creating PDF files directly from electronic source documents, some of the guidance may be applicable to the scanning and optical character recognition process involving paper source documents. It is not possible to present detailed instructions for all of the methods of creating PDF files here. Instead, we will present general guidance covering the minimal requirements that should be applicable to most any manner of creating PDFs.
You may need a PDF reader to view some of the files on this page. See EPA’s About PDF page to learn more.
