EDGARization is the process of converting parent documents - MS Word, MS Excel, PDF, Word Perfect, etc - into acceptable SEC EDGAR ASCII or HTML format. Once EDGARized, the documents can be submitted to the SEC via the EDGAR system.
How long will it take to EDGARize a document?

As an approximation of the time required use a conversion rate of 15 pages per hour. For example, a Form 10-Q consisting of approximately 25 pages will take anywhere from 2-3 hours to prepare in an acceptable format.

Some companies perform this process in-house with EGDARizer software, rather than sending them to a vendor:

Typically a deadline would be to electronically file the EDGARized forms with the SEC, not just sending them to the EDGARizer vendor.

Could missing the covenanted deadline could be considered a breach?
