What’s the dumbest way you’ve ever received a document from a client?

The Wild World of Document Submission: Share Your Stories!

Have you ever encountered a bizarre or frustrating way in which a client has sent you important documents? If so, you’re definitely not alone. The chaos that often comes with document submission can be both amusing and exasperating.

Allow me to share my most memorable experience: A client once emailed me a photograph of a PDF displayed on their iPad. To add to the absurdity, the photo was taken with a Samsung phone. As you might imagine, this less-than-ideal submission required us to manually process the invoice. It was an unexpected trip down a convoluted path to retrieve essential information.

Now, I know I’m not the only one who has faced peculiar document submissions. Whether it’s handwritten notes, upside-down scans, files renamed to “Image(345).jpg,” or anything else that seems outlandish, I invite you to share your encounters.

I’m currently gathering stories to shed light on the chaos that often surrounds document management. This isn’t just a fishing expedition; it’s about connecting with others in the same boat and exploring potential solutions to these frequent frustrations.

Let’s hear your tales of document submission madness!
