Improve — make it easier to accept

The procurement lead, [contact=Maria], skims and will flag anything she can't forward to her team. Assemble the Word estimate, Excel price sheet, and photos into one PDF with the price table converted to selectable text, a clear cover page titled Proposal for [client=Santiago Ltd.], and page numbers. Make it printer-friendly and include a one-page appendix with the original file names.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment

I have a Word scope, Excel costs, and JPEG site photos to send as one PDF to a client who dislikes locked or fragmented files. I’m unsure whether to convert the Excel to an image (keeps layout) or to searchable text (easier for procurement). Tell me which preserves accuracy and searchability while minimizing review friction, list the risks of each, and recommend the exact file order and filename before I produce the PDF. Make the change that makes signing easier and explain why.
