Unlock PDF: expert QA checklist before you send

Experienced operators trust a checklist more than memory—especially Friday at 18:00. Use this page before every unlock pdf job on LovePDF: it catches order drift, duplicate pages, and portal limits that waste archives and print prepress cycles. Pair it with the complete guide for training and the industry playbook for matter-specific intake rules.

Page order and exhibit integrity

☐ Index matches upload order ☐ Cover sheet is page 1 ☐ No duplicate exports ☐ Last-page totals spot-checked ☐ Exhibit letters cited in email match PDF headers. If any box fails, fix sources and re-run {tool}—do not patch with print-to-PDF hacks.

Visual and readability pass

☐ Signatures legible at 100% zoom ☐ Tables not clipped ☐ Barcodes intact ☐ Rotated scans fixed upstream ☐ Color photos not unnaturally dark after compress. Blurry rescans fail counsel review—recapture instead of forcing another pass.

Size, passwords, and permissions

☐ Output under portal cap with 1 MB headroom ☐ Password documented in vault—not email body ☐ Unlock unnecessary restrictions before edit workflows ☐ Watermark drafts before external share if policy requires. Re-protect after edits when archives and print prepress mandates encryption.

Filename, version, and email body

☐ Filename includes matter ID + date + v2 ☐ Email states page count and exhibit map ☐ Prior version kept 24h until ACK ☐ Links point to lovepdf.lt tool page for audit trail training.

Rollback plan

☐ Originals untouched in source folder ☐ Failed output quarantined, not emailed ☐ Known-good v1 path documented ☐ Coordinator named for re-run within one hour.

Train the bench and link internally

☐ Second operator can repeat workflow ☐ Checklist pinned near scanner ☐ Links to unlock-pdf-flagship-complete-guide and unlock-pdf-flagship-industry-playbook in matter wiki ☐ Post-mortem updates template quarterly.
