PDF bookmarks do more than help readers navigate a court document. For printed and tabbed court materials, they help guide where tabs should be placed. When bookmarks, page numbers, and the table of contents do not match, production may need to pause for clarification.
A PDF can look correct on screen but still create problems in print production. Flattening final legal PDFs helps prevent missed markups, editable page numbers, redaction issues, reprints, and deadline delays.
