The new 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) Your paper must be prepared using the template as detailed below
- Proofread and check layout of manuscript (it is highly recommended that you do this
BEFORE going to IEEE PDF eXpress.)
- Create IEEE PDF eXpress account
- 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). The
deadline is 7/15/2006.

IEEE PDF eXpress converts the following file types to PDF:
- Rich Text Format
- Freelance
- (La)TeX (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).
Templates
IEEE compliance is also why it is important that you conform strictly to the submission guidelines. If your submission does not conform to the guidelines, it will be returned to you for amendment. If you are unable to update your paper in time to meet the publication deadline, it will not be published.
Papers should not exceed 5 pages
The template can be found here .
Template clarifications (author's e-mail and multiple authors/affiliations):
Author's e-mail should appear at the end of Author's affiliation's with the same format as the affiliation. Example:
J. Q. Author
IEEE Conference Publishing
445 Hoes Lane
