My Workspace proposal print displays the message “The following attachment is not included in the view since it is not a read-only PDF file. Upon submission, this file will be transmitted to the Grantor without any data loss.” What does that mean?

The file in question, which the message will reference just below the message text, is a file type that is something other than PDF, or it is a multi-layered document, such as a fillable form. As the message suggests, it will still transmit without issue, but if you’d like to have it show in your print preview, then flatten the file. Click for instructions on how to flatten PDFs.

If you have difficulty alleviating the issue(s), please email ra-help@mit.edu.
