[Graphical user interface, text, application  Description automatically generated]



As a reminder, corrupted PDF files uploaded in MyFunding or the SF-424 can cause validation errors. Please see the below tips to ensure that corrupted files are not uploaded:


  *   Verify that all PDF attachments can be opened in Adobe before uploading the files in MyFunding.


  *   Check the document name for accuracy.
(For example, do not name the document "biosketch.doc.doc.pdf")


  *   If the origin of the document is unknown, resave the file as a PDF. (see Figure 1)


  *   Upload flattened versions of the document by following these steps:

  1.  Open document, select File, and Print.
  2.  For Printer, select Adobe PDF. (see Figure 1)
  3.  Select Print and re-save document.
