What happens if an automated processing job can't handle my file?

Last updated 2 October 2026

Every job comes back with a completion report stating exactly what was and wasn't processed, and why — a real accounting, not a blanket "success" regardless of what actually happened.

The failure mode that matters most

The worst outcome from any automated tool isn't an error message — it's a confident, wrong result with no indication anything went sideways. A silently dropped file in a 50-file batch, or a corrupted page skipped without comment, can cost far more than an honest "this one failed."

What actually gets disclosed

The completion report lists what was processed, what wasn't, and the specific reason for anything excluded — malformed file, exceeded size limit, failed a safety check, and so on. In the rare case a job needs manual attention (a stuck batch, an unrecognized file type), an operator may see metadata like a file's name or type to resolve it — never the file's content.
