PDF eXpress Online File Conversion/PDF Validation Tool
As the camera-ready papers will be indexed by IEEE Xplore digital library, the authors of the papers must meet a minimum standard for both print and electronic publishing. PDF eXpress helps the authors convert their papers into IEEE Xplore-compatible PDF files (conversion function) or to check their own PDF files for IEEE Xplore compatibility (PDF validation function). Notably, PDF eXpress is NOT a file submission system and does not capture files. An author's file simply passes through the system returning a PDF file or an error report.

After using PDF eXpress, you will still need to submit the IEEE Xplore-compatible PDF file of your final paper later in this publication submission process. Please note that IEEE Xplore is NOT able to include your paper into IEEE Digital Library if your paper is NOT IEEE Xplore-compatible.

  • If you would like to create your own PDF file, please change the setting on your PDF distiller to insure your paper meets IEEE PDF specifications. Basic PDF distiller settings MUST be changed to:
    • Optimized,
    • Acrobat 5.0 compatibility,
    • ALL graphics at least 300 dpi resolution (higher if preferred),
    • ALL fonts MUST be embedded and subset,
    • Postscript settings DO NOT override distiller settings,
    • Page size is 612.0 x 792.0 points (8.5" x 11").
  • If you would like to submit your source file to PDF eXpress for conversion and validation, PDF eXpress converts the following file types to PDF:
    • Postscript, Microsoft Word, Freelance, PageMaker, FrameMaker, Word Pro, WordPerfect, QuarkXpress, Rich Text Format
PDF eXpress will be available for use after October 20, 2010.
