Important Information about Preparing your Paper in PDF
The Proceedings for this conference will be published in IEEE Xplore®, therefore the quality of your PDF file is important. The IEEE is dedicated to the worldwide distribution of conference papers to engineering professionals. This requires that all papers submitted for publication must meet a minimum standard for both print and electronic publishing.

  • Authors will have access to IEEE PDF eXpress™ to assist them in preparing suitable PDF files. Click the logo below for more information.

  • IEEE PDF eXpress™ is a free online service that will convert your source file to PDF from a number of different publishing platforms, or verify that the PDF you created meets the IEEE Xplore® specifications.

  • IEEE PDF eXpress™ is not a file submission system and does not capture files. Authors will still need to submit their verified file to this submission site.
