Filers will need the following hardware and software to file documents in the CM/ECF electronic filing system:
 | A personal computer running a standard platform such as Windows or Macintosh. |
| A PDF-compatible word processor like Macintosh or Windows-based versions of
WordPerfect or Word. |
| Internet service. |
|
Netscape Communicator version 4.6x or 4.7x or
Netscape 7
or Mozilla
1.0 or higher. All are free downloads. Current versions of Internet Explorer
are not supported, nor recommended;
however, you can use IE 6.x at your own risk (results may vary). |
| Software to convert documents from word processor format to portable document
format (PDF). Adobe Acrobat is recommended. Adobe Acrobat version 3.x, 4.x and 5.0 adequately meet the CM/ECF filing requirements. |
| Adobe Reader, which is available for free, is needed for viewing PDF documents. |
| A scanner may be necessary to create electronic images of documents that are not in a word processing format. |
