According to the Adobe Reader Error Messages document:

8.
VIRUSDETECT - Check Attachment Name
If you are receiving an error message for an Adobe Reader package that
states VIRUSDETECT, please check the following:
In some cases if these guidelines are not followed, your application may
be rejected.
*
Use a virus protect program to run a virus scan on your entire
application package. This will ensure that your package is completely
free of viruses before resubmission.
*
Check the length of your file attachment names. File attachment names
longer than approximately 50 characters can cause problems processing
packages.
*
Avoid using any special characters (example: -,&,*,%,/,#) or spacing in
the file names. If you need spaces in the name of your files, use the
underscore (example: my_attached_file.pdf) in naming the attachments.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Punctuation on Adobe SF424

Good afternoon colleagues,

Does anyone know definitively whether punctuation such as commas,
periods,
ampersands and apostrophes are forbidden on the new Adobe PDF SF424?

Specifically I'm curious about the Application Filing Name on the First
Page,
and then for PDF file names for attachments on the R&R page and Research
Plan
Pages.

I know I've used them in the good old PureEdge days but now my central
office
administrator is telling me they can't be used.

Any help you can provide would be appreciated!

Thanks,
James
