Remember to E-File Your Documents as Text Searchable PDFs

Please read this important message regarding filing text searchable PDF documents.

Per the California Rules of Court 2.256(b)(3), and the Los Angeles Superior Court General Order Re Mandatory Electronic Filing for Civil section C(2)(A), documents are required to be e-filed in a text searchable PDF format.

The Los Angeles Superior Court civil division is now commonly enforcing this requirement. If you don’t submit your filing in a text-searchable PDF format when technologically feasible, it may result in your filing being rejected.

Converting your documents to a text searchable format is easy and takes just 30 seconds. Here is a help article which provides instructions on how to make your PDF document text searchable.
