[páginas - forgot the pesky accent]

From Collins En. Dic.

dog-ear vb.
1. (tr.) to fold down the corner of (a page).
— n. also dog\'s-ear.
2. a folded-down corner of a page.

dog-eared adj.
1. having dog-ears.
2. shabby or worn.

Because they say \"not dog-eared\" just after they mention \"not folded\", I\'d go for \"sem cantos virados\" because they seem to be talking specifically about pages not being folded in any way. Besides, these are survey sheets going through a scanner so it makes sense to make sure that the pages are not folded in any way.
