Any documents that have been converted to greyscale will show a greyscale icon in the Supporting documents panel.

Save documents in portrait format before attaching
Warning:
When you attach a document in landscape format, and it is a document type that will be included in the compiled Record of Survey, Plan Generation condenses the page into portrait format, rather than rotating it.
Ensure you save your files in portrait format before adding them to your supporting documents. This will prevent them from being condensed in Plan Generation.
Example:
A Plan graphic PDF in supporting documents. It was saved and uploaded in landscape format.
The same Plan graphic as a page in the compiled Record of Survey. It has been condensed during Plan Generation to fit portrait format.
