Guidelines Using IEEE PDF eXpress for ICCAS 2007
ICCAS 2007 has registered for
use of a new IEEE tool: IEEE PDF eXpress .
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:
1) Create your manuscript(s)
2) Proofread and check layout of manuscript (it is highly
recommended that you do this BEFORE going to IEEE PDF
eXpress.)
3) Create IEEE PDF eXpress account
4) Upload source file(s) for Conversion; and/or PDF(s)
for Checking
5) Use IEEE PDF eXpress to attain IEEE Xplore-compatible
PDF(s). The site contains extensive instructions, resources,
helpful hints, and access to technical support.
6) Submit final, IEEE Xplore-compatible PDF(s)
at http://2007.iccas.org. The deadline
is 31-July-2007.
IEEE PDF eXpress is available Now.
To access IEEE PDF eXpress, go to:

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).
Make sure that there are no grammatical, spelling, or
content errors in articles prior to submitting to PDF eXpress.
When you have an acceptable, IEEE Xplore-compatible PDF,
submit this final PDF at http://2007.iccas.org. The PDF
eXpress is NOT a file collection site.
