What is Portable Document Format (PDF)
Portable Document Format (PDF) is a universal file format that preserves all the fonts, formatting, graphics, and color of any source document, regardless of the application and platform used to create it. PDF files are compact and can be shared, viewed, navigated, and printed exactly as intended by anyone with free Adobe Acrobat Reader software. You can convert any document to PDF using Adobe Acrobat software. All of the pleadings in the CM/ECF system are stored in PDF format.

Deleting temporary internet files (clearing the cache)
In order for information to be displayed properly in ECF it is sometimes necessary to clear the "cache" or temporary internet files that are stored on your PC.
Web browsers store the files needed to display websites that you have visited, which speeds up browsing. However, one side effect is that you may not see updates that are made to CM/ECF unless you delete those temporary files.
