What is a UYAP UDF document?
UYAP UDF is a document format used by Türkiye’s National Judiciary Informatics System. A typical file is a ZIP-based package containing a content.xml document. That XML stores a shared text pool plus elements that reference character offsets for paragraphs, formatted runs, lists, tables, headers, footers and embedded images.
Supported UDF document elements
| Element | Viewer support | Possible limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Paragraphs and text | Offsets, line breaks and common styles | Rare proprietary styles may be simplified |
| Lists | Numbered and common bullet types | Complex multilevel numbering can differ |
| Tables | Rows, cells, colspan and basic borders | Exact column widths may adapt on phones |
| Images | Embedded PNG, JPEG, GIF and WebP | Unsupported binary image formats are labeled |
| Headers and footers | Displayed in separated document regions | Automatic page numbering is not reproduced |
| Electronic signatures | Presence notice only | No certificate or legal validity verification |
Privacy and safe document parsing
The selected archive is read with browser JavaScript. XML text is inserted as text nodes rather than executable HTML, embedded images are limited to recognized raster formats and archive size limits reduce memory risk. Closing or refreshing the tab removes the parsed document from the viewer.
Why the preview can differ from official UYAP Editor
The official editor may use installed fonts, proprietary layout behavior and version-specific document elements. Rantey aims to provide fast readable access on phones and computers, not to replace official editing, electronic signing or evidentiary verification. Use the current official UYAP software when exact pagination, editing or signature validation is required.
Frequently asked questions
UYAP UDF viewer FAQ
How can I open a UDF file online?+
Choose a UYAP .udf document. Rantey opens the ZIP-based package, reads content.xml and builds a safe document preview directly in your browser.
Is my legal document uploaded to Rantey?+
No. The UDF archive, XML, text and embedded images are processed in the current browser tab and are not sent to the Rantey server.
Which type of UDF file does this viewer support?+
This viewer is designed for UYAP document files used by the Turkish National Judiciary Informatics System. It does not mount Universal Disk Format DVD or disk images.
Can the viewer display tables and images?+
It supports common UYAP paragraphs, styled text runs, numbered and bulleted lists, tables, headers, footers, page breaks and embedded PNG or JPEG images. Unusual editor-specific elements may be simplified.
Can I search inside a UDF document?+
Yes. After opening the file, enter a word or phrase to highlight every visible match and see the total number of results.
Can I convert the UDF document to PDF?+
Use the Print button and select Save as PDF in your browser print dialog. The result is a browser-rendered copy and may not exactly match the official UYAP Editor pagination.
Does Rantey verify electronic signatures?+
No. The viewer can report that a signature-related package entry or XML element exists, but it does not cryptographically validate a certificate, signer identity, timestamp or legal validity.
Why might a UDF file look different from UYAP Editor?+
UYAP Editor can use proprietary fonts, layout rules and version-specific elements. Rantey preserves common structure and formatting but prioritizes safe readable access over pixel-identical editing.
