\begin{document}
The bulk of the PDF file should comprise the "Scientific Justification" and the "Technical Justification" (for all GO and Survey programs) and/or "Analysis Plan" (for all AR and Calibration GO programs).
\begin{itemize}
\item Four (4) pages are allocated for Very Small GO, Small GO, Survey, and Regular AR proposals;
\item Five (5) pages are allocated for Very Small Combined GO+AR, Small Combined GO+AR, Medium GO, and Medium Combined GO+AR proposals;
\item Six (6) pages are allocated for Large GO, Large Combined GO+AR, Treasury GO, and Legacy AR proposals.
\end{itemize}
One additional page is available in all the above cases for all of the following sections combined (if required): "Special Requirements", "Justify Coordinated Parallel Observations", "Justify Coordinated Observations with Other Facilities", and "Justify Duplications". Please see JWST Preparation of the PDF Attachment to determine whether any of these sections are required for your proposal.
Proposals which include additional GO flags or AR flags should consult the relevant sections of the JWST Proposal Categories for guidance on determining the size category and hence the page limits. In general, proposals with flags will follow the "normal" GO or AR proposal page limits for their size category; exceptions include Treasury GO, Very Small Combined GO+AR, and Small Combined GO+AR proposals.
In relation to these page limits, note the following:
\begin{itemize}
\item Proposals that exceed the page limits will be subject to disqualification in the review process.
\item There are no limits on the numbers of figures and tables in the PDF attachment, and they may be interspersed in the text. However, the total page limit must be observed.
\item References should be listed at the end of the proposal and do not count against the page limits. References have no particular formatting requirements (you can use your favorite style, including numbers).
\item Your PDF attachment must be prepared using this template. Do not change the format of any of the templates provided by STScI, including but not limited to the font sizes, margins, line spacing, etc. Proposals that change the formatting of the templates will be disqualified.
\item There are no specific page limits on the section length, but proposers are strongly recommended to devote at least one page to the Technical Justification or the Analysis Plan.
\end{itemize}
