Frequently Asked Questions

Why are my Plans not uploading?

  • Most of the time, file Uploads begin straight away because the queue is free. If there is a peak in the number of people uploading Plans simultaneously, this will slow the upload process down. There is a queueing system to prevent the server from becoming overloaded.
  • If a Plan is taking an abnormal amount of time or failing, please see the below suggestions:

A1: An error is received. The file type is incorrect.

  1. Accepted file types are only PDFs.
  2. If it is a PDF file and you're still unable to upload Plans, try opening the Plans using regular PDF viewers like Adobe Acrobat Reader or Google Chrome.
    If you cannot open the file, it is most likely corrupted.

A2: Change file type to PDF.

  1. Go to your app or website of choice
  2. Choose the JPEG, TIFF, PNG file;
  3. Click Convert to PDF.
  4. When done, download the PDF file and upload it to Methvin
