Attachment formats
EDGAR accepts .htm, .txt and .pdf attachments with strict lowercase naming rules.
How we handle it: UploadPrep prepares PDF, one of the three accepted types; name files yourself following EDGAR’s lowercase rules before upload.
Larger submission classes
ABS-EE and NPORT submission classes allow 600–800 MB; Form ID/CORRESP filings do not.
How we handle it: The default 200 MB class applies here.
