Recommendation Letter format
I asked a supervisor to write me a recommendation letter for graduate school.. Many programs allow electronic submission via an online centralized program. I helped her copy/paste the letter onto the site, and once we submitted it and reviewed the PDF, we realized that the formatting was altered so that there is excess space between the last two paragraphs.
Though there's nothing we can do to change anything now, does a formatting issue such as this look bad to schools? Can this potentially bring doubt to my credibility?

No it does not reflect on you as this is not coming from you. The letter is coming from a third party on your behalf. If blanks are left open it reflects on the writer not on what is said about you. The fact that the writer left information out or left things blank will not reflect or hurt you.
If it is possible to have someone else write a letter for you I would suggest you do so. The more letters of recommendation you can submit the better picture of you the school can get.
As for the formatting error. What the admissions people see is a printout not what you see on the screen. The extra spacing will hardly be noticed.

No. They won't care.
If it happened to you, then it's happened to others.
I know it's stressful, but relax. This won't reflect on you negatively.
