The Hidden Cost of Poor Formatting

Have you ever had a loan application delayed by weeks or a job onboarding process stalled? Often, the culprit is not your eligibility, but the formatting of the documents you submitted. In the world of automated processing, formatting is everything.

What Does "Proper Formatting" Mean?

It's not just about the document looking "nice". It's about standardization.

1. Orientation

Documents should always be upright. If a verification officer has to crane their neck or rotate their screen to read your PAN card, they might just reject it to save time.

2. Margins and Borders

A professional scan includes a small, consistent margin around the document. It shows that no part of the document has been cut off. A photo taken on a bedsheet with inconsistent borders looks unprofessional and suspicious.

3. Alignment

Skewed images (pictures taken at an angle) distort text and make OCR (Optical Character Recognition) difficult. Rectifying the perspective—making the card look like a flat rectangle—is crucial.

The PDF Advantage

Sending multiple images (Aadhaar Front, Aadhaar Back, PAN) as separate attachments is messy. Formatting them into a single, multi-page PDF or a single-page collage (like Aadhaar Front and Back on one sheet) is the professional standard.

This is standard practice for:

• Bank Account Opening Forms
• Visa Applications
• Rental Agreements

How Aadhar2pdf Handles Formatting

We built Aadhar2pdf to automate this "professional touch".

• Perspective Correction: Even if you take a photo at an angle, our tool flattens it into a perfect rectangle.
• Standard Layouts: We offer pre-set layouts (e.g., Side-by-Side for Aadhaar) that match what banks and officials expect to see.

Conclusion

Proper formatting signals professionalism and attention to detail. It makes the verifier's job easier, which in turn makes your approval process faster.
