Uploading Scenes
What file types work best with Linus?
Use the script formats Linus reads best, and avoid files that are likely to fail.
File requirements
Linus currently supports script uploads in PDF format.
Your PDF should be:
- under 20MB
- unlocked
- not password-protected
What works best?
Linus usually works best with clean, typed PDFs where the text is easy to read.
Linus can also process scripts that are:
- scanned
- photographed
- photocopied
- watermarked
- exported from another document as a PDF
What if my PDF is tricky?
If your script is scanned, watermarked, or formatted unusually, upload it using:
Advanced Options → Convert PDF Pages to Images
This can help Linus read the script more accurately.
What if my file is not a PDF?
If your script is in another format, such as a Word document or image file, export or save it as a PDF first.
Then upload the PDF to Linus.
