Property Releases have to be JPGs???

I finally found out how to upload Property Releases - but now I find they have to be JPGs??? Not the PDFs that Adobe has us fill out. Is Adobe trying to discourage submissions for stock art? It's bad enough that almost NONE of my submissions have any real property showing in them. But now I need to use pretzel logic just to figure out how to clear up the "problem." This has been the most asinine experience so far this month lol.

Exactly. Once you've created your first JPG template of the release, the PDF is no longer needed and can be tossed. Then you will just need to switch out the thumbnail. If you have Photoshop, I even created two Actions to reduce my assets automatically to fit the space: one Action for horizontals and another for verticals. I'd create them in a batch for all the assets I intended to submit, and give them titles I could easily match to the asset during the uploading and submission process.

Yes, they do need to be jpgs. Since you don't seem to be talking about individual human models, it's fairly easy to make one jpg template and simply switch out the thumbnail in the upper right-hand corner for each asset submitted. No need to keep changing any of the other information in most cases, including the date.

Thank you again, Danielle! So, I am supposed to paste a thumbnail of my image in the upper left corner of a JPG of the PDF Release? I wondered at that, since I couldn't see a way to "attach a Visual Reference of the property" to the PDF, and there is no field in the release in which to enter the File ID.
