If this PDF is submitted, the pages will be resized upon entry into the Image File Wrapper and may affect subsequent processing Here's an example of the errors from the PTO as drawings are uploaded: I, too, have found it extremely difficult to submit drawings to the USPTO. I would recommend starting off with Acrobat's High Quality Print settings and possibly modifying it to use PDF 1.6 (Acrobat 6) compatibility. If you have raster images, this could be problematic and you might need to downsample or change compression mode(s) to get the file size down. For text and vector, this isn't an issue. The only part of their requirements which could be problematic is the requirement for the file not exceeding 5MB. The paragraph with regards to what type of images may be used within a PDF file is nonsense since by the time the image gets into the PDF file, all traces of its original file type are gone.Īnd don't create a file with explicit layers (something possible from InDesign, Illustrator, etc.). That is best practices for virtually any PDF file you create. Acrobat doesn't put viruses in PDF files that it creates or opens. Obviously, they don't want viruses in the PDF file. I've read the USPTO PDF requirements and there is really nothing unusual there.

This should be fairly simple using Adobe Acrobat.
