une édition papier/format PDF
Un contrôle automatique se matérialisera dans le système et le contrôle manuel via une édition papier/format PDF avec un commentaire des résultats.
I'm a little unsure about the whole thing to be honest, is it saying that an automatic control takes place in the system while a manual control is done using paper/PDF format with a discussion of the results?
Non-PRO (1): Yvonne Gallagher
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: maybe you can keep "simplifying" to no end, but you need to be aware that PDF is a format for ***electronic files*** NOT for paper ... as one could misinterpret your version.

: this could easily be misinterpreted as PDF being a format for paper ... A4 or Letter are "formats" for paper, PDF is a format for electronic files.

Well, it mimics the Swedish and is a translation and not an explanation of what we have. PDF is also internationally recognized so I do not agree with you but that's life eh?

a printable file (/ document) in PDF format
A clue : "avec un commentaire des résultats" => the PDF file is the report, NOT a form to be filled.
In fact, there is an implied repetition:
Un contrôle automatique se matérialisera dans le système et le contrôle manuel via une édition papier/format PDF avec un commentaire des résultats.
=
Un contrôle automatique se matérialisera dans le système (=> une alerte / un rapport sera généré automatiquement par le logiciel / le "système").
+
Le contrôle manuel [se matérialisera dans le système] via une édition papier/format PDF avec un commentaire des résultats.
So in fact what will be added to **the IT system** is an electronic file "ready for printing" (= in PDF format). The whole point of the PDF format for electronic files being that what you see on the screen is exactly how it will look when printed.
No actual paper anywhere to be seen ... until someone wants a printed copy.

I believed that PDF files are read-only and that they can be readily printed on adobe or acrobat reader / writer.

Similarly others who answered the same question stated that the PDF files can be printed. ("Paper version of the said PDF file .. printed")

: PDF is a standard for electronic files so they is no way that anything printed on paper could be "PDF" // PDF files are designed to be "printable" but PDF is a file-type /"format" for *electronic files* i.e. NO SUCH THING as "paper in PDF format"
