This addendum extends the 2026-07-18 filing-rule source review to cover common technical rules added in rule catalog 1.2.0. The official LCI State Clearinghouse pre-submission checklist and common mistakes guidance were re-read on 2026-07-27 alongside the FAQ.
| Rule | Source relationship | Lifecycle decision |
|---|---|---|
PDF-007 flattened, non-fillable PDF |
Common mistakes #3/#8 and checklist section 3 explicitly require flattened, non-editable documents with no fillable fields. Split out of PDF-006 so the official guidance is the citation. |
Active; objective, correctable signal. |
PDF-008 screen-reader structure tags |
Checklist section 3 asks for documents "properly tagged for screen reader compatibility." The rule reports only the structure-tree flag and states it is not accessibility certification, consistent with the documented accessibility boundaries. | Active as an advisory warning. |
FILE-003 static PDF document format |
Common mistakes #8 directs filers to convert documents to static, fully text-searchable PDFs. Flags common convertible formats only, so package manifests are never flagged. | Active as an advisory warning. |
FILE-004 advisory file size |
No official size limit is documented in any reviewed source. The rule is self-cited as a CEQA Preflight advisory technical rule with a parameterized threshold, and its remediation says to verify current portal guidance. | Active as an advisory warning; wording must not imply an official limit. |
FILE-005 portable filename characters |
No official character guidance exists beyond descriptive names (already FILE-001). Self-cited technical portability rule. |
Active as an advisory warning. |
PDF-006 active PDF content (narrowed) |
Now covers only scripts, launch actions, and embedded files under its existing security citation; form fields moved to PDF-007. |
Active, unchanged lifecycle. |
PDF-003 searchable-text coverage (remediation) |
The zero-coverage remediation now recommends OCR, matching the FAQ and common mistakes #3 solution text. | Active, unchanged lifecycle. |
Recheck these sources on the schedule set by the 2026-07-18 review (before 2026-10-18 or a tagged release, whichever is earlier).
