C.D. Cal. L.R. 5-4.3.1
Technical Requirements (File Format and Size Limitations)
Documents filed electronically must be
submitted in PDF. Except as provided elsewhere in this L.R. 5-
4, the document filed with the Court must be created using
word-processing software, then published to PDF from the
original word-processing file (to permit the electronic version
of the document to be searched). PDF IMAGES CREATED
BY SCANNING PAPER DOCUMENTS ARE PROHIBITED,
except that exhibits submitted as attachments to a document and
records in bankruptcy appeals, habeas corpus proceedings, and
administrative review cases such as Social Security appeals,
ERISA, and IDEA cases may be scanned and attached, in text-searchable PDF form, if the filer does not possess a word-processing-file version of the attachment. Individual PDF files
shall not exceed 35 MB in size, and shall contain no more than
one document or portion of one document per file. PDF files
that exceed 35 MB must be divided into sub-volumes.
Where scanned signature pages are authorized under L.R. 5-
4.3.4(a), only the signature pages may be scanned; the
remainder of the document must be generated by publishing to
PDF from the original word-processing file.

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.
