As the official publisher, LexisNexis creates PDF files as the print volumes are assembled. (That’s why the most recent decisions are not yet included.) And only LexisNexis can make these PDF images available. For litigators who need to file an official copy of a case document with the court, these PDFs offer an easy-to-use, timesaving way to produce official report images.
