Maricopa Cnty. Super. Ct. eFiling Guidelines § 2.03
Document Format
2.03 Document Format
All electronically filed documents must be formatted in accordance with the applicable rules governing formatting of paper
documents, including Rule 1.6, Rules of Criminal Procedure; Rule 20, Rules of Family Law Procedure; Rule 2.15, Superior Court
of Maricopa County Local Rules; Rule 5.2, Rules of Civil Procedure; and Rule 105, Rules of Procedure for the Juvenile Court; and
in conformance with such other formats as the Court may require from time to time provided these formats do not cause participants
to invest significant resources in making changes.
(a) Technical Formats and Size
A participant may electronically transmit a document in a text-searchable .pdf, .doc, .docx, or .odt format. A document cannot be
password protected and must not exceed 9 MB in size. Unless the court establishes special instructions, all proposed forms of order
must be in a form that permits it to be modified, such as .odt or .docx format or other format permitted by the court, and cannot be
password protected. Upon acceptance and filing by the Clerk's Office, all documents electronically filed will be converted to
Portable Document Format (.pdf) in compliance with standards set forth in sections 1-504 and 1-506 of the Arizona Code of Judicial
Administration. The Court may require a participant to produce the original of a scanned exhibit that has been filed electronically by
the participant.
(b) Hyperlinks, Bookmarks, and Other Electronic Navigational Aids
Electronically filed documents may include hyperlinks, bookmarks, and other electronic navigational aids for the convenience of
the judge assigned to the case. A hyperlink is not itself a part of the filed document. Each hyperlink must contain a text reference to
the target of the link. As an example, the electronically filed document may contain a reference like "A.R.S. 13-602" and hyperlink
that text to the URL https://www.azleg.gov/ars/13/00602.htm. The foregoing notwithstanding, hyperlinks are not part of the official
court record and may not be preserved in electronically filed documents submitted and stored on the Clerk's electronic document
management system.

The link goes to the issuing authority’s own document — the one we read to produce this record. Where a source publishes whole titles rather than sections, your browser may need a moment to jump to the provision.
Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
