Filing documents into CM/ECF electronic filing systems
requires the following hardware and software:
 |
A personal computer running
a standard platform such as Windows or Macintosh. |
|
A PDF-compatible word processor like Macintosh or Windows-based versions of WordPerfect or Word. |
|
Internet service. |
|
Netscape Navigator version
4.6 or 4.7.( Netscape 6 is not recommended for use with CM/ECF.) The newest vesion of the CM/ECF system for bankruptcy courts has been
certified to be compatible with Internet Explorer 5.5. District court systems are currently being tested to certify compatibility. |
|
Software to convert documents from a word processor format to portable document format (PDF). Adobe
Acrobat PDF Writer is recommended. Acrobat Writer Version 3.X, 4.X and 5.0 adequately meet the CM/ECF filing requirements. |
|
Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is available for free, is needed for viewing PDF documents. |
|
A scanner may be necessary to create electronic images of documents that are not in your word processing
system. |
