Submission Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when preparing your plans/documents for processing in DPR.
ALL DOCUMENTS
Must be in PDF format
Maximum file size is 500 MB
Do not use encrypted or password-protected files
Do not combine plan sheets with supporting documents (reports)
Any annotations in the PDF will be removed during the submission process
Multiple file types (e.g., plans, structural calcs, reports, etc) can be uploaded at the same time
PLANS (architectural, civil, landscape, etc.)
Arrange plans in a landscape page view
Ensure sheet numbers for each page are consistently labeled for each submittal
Generate plans to scale (as indicated on the plan)
If possible, please create a table of contents when exporting/publishing to PDF (ex: Use the “Create bookmarks” option in the “Export to PDF Options” settings in AutoCAD)
If possible, include sheet titles within a table of contents
For revision plans:
follow the business process established by the applicable division
For building plans:
leave the top left corner of each plan sheet blank for approval stamp to avoid overlapping any content
SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS
(such as reports, calculations, specifications, etc.)
Reports should be uploaded as one (1) combined PDF file
Pages may be oriented in either landscape or portrait view (as needed)
Do not resubmit individual pages
of a report. The complete combined file is required with each submittal.
