<p>For some reason when i upload my attachment documents to the common app application it shows up as a print preview (all the pages are there) but no text? Any idea why it would do this?</p>
<p>What kind of document are you uploading (MS Word, text, etc)?</p>
<p>it’s a Microsoft word document</p>
<p>Did you use a strange font? It should just convert right to a PDF and preserve the text and even formatting. If you still can’t get it to work I would contact Common App support. They’re good at fixing stuff like this.</p>
<p>Thank you so much! I have a Mac and the default font for Word on it is Cambria or something, but after changing it to times new roman the upload works fine now.</p>
<p>Is it wise to upload essays as pdf files?</p>
<p>Miss Princeton - The Common App Online converts your uploads to pdf if it isn’t already. All the Common App colleges can read the pdfs.</p>
<p>That was useful. Thank you!</p>
