While we do require Submissions to be in industry standard screenplay format -- written as a screenplay, within the appropriate range of margins, characters identified appropriately, and so on -- Greenlight may deem it appropriate to disregard certain MINOR format deviations that may have been caused by, for example, the Adobe® PDF conversion process, or minor differences between accepted industry standard formats.
