How do I get the docket information to appear as a header on my PDF ?
ECF dynamically applies the PDF header to your document when you attempt to view it through ECF.
Make sure that when you are logged into CMECF and run a Docket Report, under Documents options, the box must be checked in front of include headers when displaying PDF documents.
NOTE: Docketed PDFs must be formatted to permit text searches and to facilitate transmission and retrieval on multiple devices. Depending on how the PDF was created, the e-dimensions file size may not allow CMECF to dynamically apply the header to the PDF. If you must docket an oversized document or use a large photo into a PFD – the Court recommends that you Print to Adobe PDF to remove any metadata and reduce the size of the PDF to allow upload.
