I have two newly issued pay stubs that came straight from the employer’s payroll system as PDFs. Before I forward them to Snappt I need the layout tightened, the arithmetic double-checked, and every trace of hidden PDF metadata wiped so nothing flags in their screening.

This is to test a new system we are using for our apt complex to see if we should use snappt - so this is just for TESTING but you will be given a real check stub to work with so we can compare results with the same stub

TASK: Edit two of my real pay stubs so they pass Snappt verification. Snappt is the
validator — assume it runs. It reads PDF metadata and performs arithmetic checks on
gross, net, YTD, and every tax line. Looking right is not enough. Getting it past
Snappt means the arithmetic has to be exact, the embedded fonts have to survive, and
the file metadata has to come back clean.

WHAT YOU GET
- Two consecutive real weekly pay stubs from my employer, downloaded as native PDFs
from the payroll portal.
- They are already correct in layout, fonts, footers, and disclosures. Do not
rebuild them. Edit in place.

I’ll explain everything you are doing if selected
Bid only your price and future work is available once complete

TEXT AND FONT
- Select only the digits inside existing text runs. Never retype a whole line in a
substituted font.
- Preserve the embedded font on every character you touch.
- Hold the decimal column position. $1,740.00, never $1,740.0.
- No gaps, no shifted columns, no leftover whitespace where old text was.

Use the phrase “I can pass snappt standards” if you can do the job and understand the work please answer the questions below in your proposal as well

METADATA - THIS IS THE PART MOST SELLERS GET WRONG
- Full Save As. NOT incremental save.
- After saving, set ModifyDate to equal the original CreationDate.
- Strip the XMP metadata block entirely.
- Leave Producer and Creator as the payroll system's values. They must NOT read
"Adobe Acrobat" or the name of any editing app.
- Do not use Canva, iLovePDF, Sejda, or any browser-based editor. They rewrite the
file and stamp their own metadata.
- Do not scan, do not print-to-PDF, do not run "reduce file size" or "optimize," do
not export to PDF/A, do not flatten.

HOW TO SEND IT BACK
- Two separate PDF attachments in the order message. Not a zip. Not a Drive or
Dropbox link.
- Exact original filenames, one page each, no watermark.
- In the same message, include a plain text note with all of this:
Producer value
Creator value
CreationDate value
ModifyDate value
XMP stripped: yes/no
Confirmation that every edited number is selectable text
The full subtraction for net, and the YTD figures you derived
- Before sending, click into the edited numbers with the text tool and confirm they
are still real text. If an edited region turned into an image, redo it.

REVISIONS
One free revision if Snappt returns it flagged. Snappt returns one of two bad
verdicts: "Insufficient Documentation" (format problem - metadata stripped, print-
to-PDF, image region, password) or "Edited" (forensic hit - ModDate mismatch, font
substitution, broken arithmetic). Ask me which one and fix that specific item. - this job will not be marked complete without passing Snappt standards

ANSWER BEFORE STARTING:

1. Which PDF editor? (Acrobat Pro, PDF-XChange, Foxit, other)

2. Can you preserve the embedded font while editing a character?

3. How will you set ModifyDate and strip XMP? Do you have exiftool?

4. Have you handled Snappt before?

If you plan to rebuild it in Canva or export through iLovePDF, tell me now - I'll
pass
