In addition to the above, there are parts to convert such as the following. In the case of accumulation of design searches, new image files embedded drawing names into are created. And whole and substitute drawings are created by putting multiple drawings of them together into one image. Moreover, the size is changed as follows. (no changes in extensions) 1) Each drawing - Black and white : 2362×1780 dots, Color : 1200×904 dots 2) Substitute, whole and correction drawings - Black and white : 4677×3307 dots, Color : 12980×904 dots In regard to JPEG of Hague applications, whole drawings of the same cases are reduced with the reduction ratio used for when the largest size drawing is reduced to the following. And they're converted into 24bit full color with the same ratio. Size : within 150×113（mm）,Resolution : within 200dpi			In regard to images in black and white, applicants create them in PNG/GIF/BMP. However, the images are converted into TIFF before sending them to servers. (In the case PNG/GIF are not black and white binary, they're converted into black and white binary. In the case BMP is not black and white binary, it's considred to be "error".) * Supplemental explanation : they're converted by application softwares, and then sent to receptions.

15. 2D and 3D representation and limitations

ST.3 Code	Response	All 2D design representations are published in a single format (e.g., PDF) (specify)	2D Design representations are published in multiple formats (e.g., PDF and JPEG) (specify)	Publish 2D image in other format(specify)	Minimum 2D raster image size (specify width x height in pixel) for publication	Maximum 2D raster image size (specify width x height in pixel) for publication	Publish 3D image (specify the format)	The maximum number of characters in an electronic file name is limited. (if yes, how many characters?)	The maximum size of an electronic file in MB	The maximum size of the sum of all electronic files for one design in MB	The maximum number of electronic files per design
AU	Only publish 2D view images The published design representations may differ from what have has been filed by the applicant in file format (e.g., from JPEG to PDF). The published design representations may differ from what have been filed by the applicant in image size by pixels. The published design representations may differ from what have been filed by the applicant in quality (e.g., color to B/W conversion). Publish 2D image in JPEG Publish 2D image in TIFF Publish 2D image in PNG Publish 2D image in GIF Publish 2D image in PDF Publish black/white images unless color is necessary Allow one electronic file to represent more than one view.		In ADDS, for each view, there are thumbnail representation, small size representation, large size representation and printable representation with increasing resolution. The printable representation is in PDF but the other representations can be in other formats (TIFF, GIF, JPEG, PNG).						50
