We're at signature and I know how quickly 'final' drifts. Tell me how to convert the version I relied on into the defensible, searchable record the corporate team will cite years from now. Explain which metadata to set, whether to flatten or keep layers, how to preserve OCR and redactable text, and the trade-offs of locking versus versioning. Give the exact commands or steps I'd use so Finance, Compliance, and the archivist won't argue about later.
when the reply comes backPush once: ask it to sharpen the weakest part, and to say what it assumed.

No. Each page gives you a ready prompt you can paste into an AI assistant, plus the plain steps to do it yourself. Start with either — the goal is the finished job, not the tool.
