CONVERTING TEMPLATES TO PDF FILES

What IEEE PDF eXpress™ does?

IEEE PDF eXpress converts the following file types to PDF:

Rich Text Format

Freelance

LaTeX (DVI and all support files required) *

PageMaker

FrameMaker

QuarkXpress *

Word Pro

Microsoft Word

WordPerfect

*For documents created in formats that do not embed source files, include all support files with the final manuscript in a folder. Put this folder in a compressed archive for submission. If it is possible to embed images in the source document, you should do so to avoid potential issues, such as missing graphics.

IMPORTANT: A DVI (DeVice Independent file) is required for LaTeX conversions, in addition to all associated image files. Make sure that your LaTeX system can output a DVI, otherwise it cannot be converted. Be sure also to check that your images are properly referenced, and that DVI can handle the image file types used (DVI does not handle some newer image types, such as *.png).

IEEE Xplore® and IEEE PDF eXpress™

IEEE Xplore® Requirements for PDF will be enforced as of 2005.

All conference articles submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore must adhere to the IEEE Xplore PDF specification for compatibility.

IEEE PDF eXpress is a free service to IEEE conferences, allowing their authors to make IEEE Xplore-compatible PDFs (Conversion function) or to check PDFs that authors have made themselves for IEEE Xplore compatibility (PDF Check function).

Steps for submission:

Create your manuscript(s).

Proofread and check layout of manuscript (it is highly recommended that you do this BEFORE going to IEEE PDF eXpress).

Create your IEEE PDF eXpress account (directions below).

Upload source file(s) for Conversion; and/or PDF(s) for Checking.

Use IEEE PDF eXpress to attain IEEE Xplore-compatible PDF(s). The site contains extensive instructions, resources, helpful hints, and access to technical support.

Submit final, IEEE Xplore-compatible PDF(s). Do it before deadline Monday 31-Mar-2008. Will not be extended time.
