Ill. Admin. Code tit. 35, § 101.1030 - Form of Electronic Documents for Filing
a) In addition to complying with the
formatting requirements of Section
101.302(g) and
(j), electronic documents uploaded on COOL
for filing must be in one of the following electronic formats:
1) Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF),
version 2.0 or greater;
2)
Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0 or greater;
3) Corel WordPerfect for Windows, version 6.0
or greater; or
4) Microsoft Excel
for Windows, version 4.0 or greater.
b) Generally, electronic documents filed in
compliance with this Subpart will be posted to COOL by the Clerk's Office in
text-searchable Adobe PDF. When practicable, persons should:
1) Upload their electronic documents on COOL
in text-searchable Adobe PDF; and
2) Convert their electronic documents to a
text-searchable Adobe PDF directly from the program used to create the
document, rather than from a scanned image of the paper document.
c) No single electronic file
uploaded on COOL, whether constituting all or part of an electronic document,
may contain more than 10 megabytes (MB) of data. To comply with this
requirement, an electronic document may be divided into parts and submitted as
multiple electronic files, each file being 10 MB or less. The person
authorizing the filing is responsible for dividing the document into
appropriately-sized files and naming each file to reflect its place within the
electronic document.
d) Multiple
electronic documents, whether for the same proceeding or different proceedings,
must be uploaded separately on COOL and, therefore, must not be combined into a
single electronic file for filing through COOL.
e) Electronic documents may contain links to
material external to the filed document. However, links to external material
are for convenience purposes only. The external material behind the link is not
considered part of the filing or the record of the proceeding in which the
document was filed.
f) All
documents uploaded on COOL must be free of viruses or other harmful processes.
If an electronic document containing a virus or other harmful process is
uploaded on COOL, the Board may, consistent with Section
101.800(b)
and (c), impose sanctions, including barring
the document from being filed in any manner and barring the person authorizing
the filing or the digital signature certificate holder from any further
electronic filing through COOL.
g)
Documents filed under Section
101.302(h)(2)
must:
1) Include bookmarks, immediately
viewable when the document is opened, to individual documents in the same order
as they appear in the corresponding Table of Contents to facilitate navigation
and location of specific contents within the document; and
2) Have pagination displayed on each document
in the top right corner of each page.
