PDF

PDF appears to be the safest and most portable way of moving text page images from one place to another. You should format your original page for US Letter size. We prefer submission in PDF. PDF files are detected by examining the first PDF characters of the file, if they are '%PDF' then file is assumed to be in PDF format.

PostScript

PostScript, these days, is often very non-portable. You should take care to format the page for US Letter size, and ensure that all the portability switches are turned on if you are using a Windows platform.

ASCII text

Should be formatted where each paragraph is separated by a blank line, and lines should be terminated by a newline character. Lines should be at most 75 characters long. Any file failing the two tests above are assumed to be text.
