Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about installation, licensing, and the OSFM workflow.
What operating systems are supported?
OSFM Submittal Assistant is intended for compatible Windows 10 and Windows 11 computers.
What can I do in the free trial?
The free trial provides access to the complete software workflow, including sheet review, Smart Sheet Naming, Batch PDF Extraction previews, Version Indicators, and Backcheck Comparison. Final file export is disabled until a paid license is activated.
How many computers can use one license?
Each user license permits activation on one computer at a time. The 5-User Pack includes five separate licenses for up to five computers.
What should I do when replacing my computer?
Contact support before or after replacing the computer. Provide the purchaser email address and available license information so the activation can be reviewed.
Does the software automatically submit files to OSFM?
No. The software assists with preparing drawing files. It does not access an agency portal, transmit a submittal, or replace the applicant’s responsibility to review and submit the final package.
Does the software change my original PDF?
The application processes the selected PDF package and creates output files based on the user’s selections. Maintain a separate copy of the original source package and review all output before submission.
Why was a sheet number or title not detected correctly?
Detection results can vary based on title-block layout, scan quality, PDF resolution, text orientation, and whether the source contains searchable text. Review and correct all proposed sheet information before export.
What should I do if the application is blocked during installation?
Confirm that the installer was downloaded from the official Submittal Assistant website. Your organization’s security settings may require administrator approval or assistance from your information technology department.
Is DSA support currently included?
No. The current product is focused on OSFM drawing-submittal workflows. DSA support is planned for a future release.
