Report flags / PDF file
THE FILE“Modified after it was created”
What this flag on a PDF file means, why it matters, and what to check.
What it means
The file records a modification date later than its creation date.
Why it matters
Payroll and bank systems usually create a document once. A later save means the file was opened and written again, and the content may have changed.
Ordinary explanations
- Re-saving to rotate, compress or combine pages.
- Some phone apps rewrite a PDF when it's shared.
What to check
Ask the applicant for a copy downloaded directly from the source (payroll portal or bank), and compare it with this one.
A flag is a reason to verify with the source, not proof. Apply the same steps to every applicant.
