Convert the 30-slide deck and two appendices to PDFs, make sure fonts are embedded and images remain high-res, generate a merged packet with a clickable table of contents, and provide a checksum so archival shows integrity.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+The regulator requires official PDFs of our proposal but the originals include proprietary fonts and oversized photos that might break conversion.

Recommend the conversion approach that minimizes follow-up questions from the regulator and how to document the conversion. Ladder [ladder=L5]
