Important notice regarding the sunset of the GreatDocs™ Reader
Over the past few years, there has been a growing demand for PDF files in the bundling
and shipping of mortgage documents. GreatDocs has supported the creation of PDF files
for over four years while at the same time, offered our proprietary PKG format. The
widespread adoption of the PDF format along with the free distribution of Adobe’s reader
has significantly reduced the utilization of the PKG format. We have made the decision
to discontinue the development of our PKG files as of December 31st, 2007.
Support will continue through March 31, 2008 to accommodate loan origination system
("LOS") providers’ release schedules. After this date, all calls received in our support
center regarding our package files will be directed back to respective LOS providers for
delivery options.
You can continue to use the PKG format indefinitely as our reader may be made
available for distribution from your institution’s or your LOS provider’s site; however,
we encourage you to fully use the PDF format as soon as is beneficial to your business.

Q&A
-TROUBLESHOOTING GreatDocs PACKAGE (*.PKG) ISSUES
Q1:
LINK ERROR
- You received an email from a financial institution with the
GreatDocs™Reader link, however when clicking on the link you
receive an error and are not able to download the
GreatDocs™Reader
application.
A: The correct GreatDocs™ Reader link should be: http://www.greatdocs.com/Reader/. Instructions for downloading and installing the GreatDocs™ Reader are listed at that site.
Q2:
NOT SURE HOW TO OPEN
- You are not sure how to open the GreatDocs™Reader
application after downloading it from the website.
A:
GreatDocs™Reader is located off of Start > Programs
> Harland Financial Solutions, Inc. >
GreatDocs™Reader. Operating instructions are also
available on the GreatDocs™Reader website.
Q3:
HOW TO OPEN A PKG
- You have received an email with an attached Loan Document Package
(PKG file) and you are not sure how to open the PKG file in
GreatDocs™Reader.
A: Double
click on the attached PKG file on the email you received from the
financial institution. If that does not work you will need to copy the
attachment from the email and save to a folder. Then open the
GreatDocs™Reader, go to File > Open Package, and
redirect it to the folder where you saved the PKG file.
Q4:
INCOMPLETE PACKAGE OR
PASSWORD PROTECTED - You
received a package (PKG) that was incomplete or password protected.
A:
If you need to request a complete package or a password to open the
package you received, you will need to contact the financial
institution that sent the package to you. Check the email for
a return address or contact name and number.
Note:
Harland Financial Solutions - GreatDocs does not send out the loan
package (PKG) files. We support the
GreatDocs™Reader and other Harland Financial Solutions
applications.
Q5: EMAIL RE: PACKAGE DOWNLOAD - You received an
email indicating that you should go to the GreatDocs™Reader
website to download your package.
A:
The GreatDocs™Reader website will only contain the Harland
Financial Solutions GreatDocs™Reader
application. Harland Financial Solutions cannot post the loan
packages to our application website. All loan packages come
directly from the financial institution. The email you
received referencing the loan package will likely contain appropriate
identification and contact information for the financial
institution. Please call them for the package.
Q6: WARNING RE: VIRUS FOR HOTMAIL - You have received an email with an attached package; however, when you attempt to download the package you receive a warning noting that the package contains a virus.
A: You should always review virus alerts; however, we have found that customers with MSN Hotmail accounts seem to be receiving a false virus alert when receiving packages (see error message below).
We believe this is a setting within the MSN Hotmail account. The financial institutions have checked for viruses and found none. We have also tested here at Harland Financial Solutions and have not encountered any virus errors.
