Just thought I'd share my Fastlane experience from today - I uploaded a
Microsoft Word file into the system since it wouldn't accept my PDF version
because it was a combination of two files. Fastlane then converted that MS
word file into an acceptable PDF and uploaded it all at once. Doing that
seems to be a lot easier than the old way since it saves the step of
creating the PDF first - and it worked, believe it or not.
