Validate your manuscript by PDF eXpress

Use IEEE PDF eXpress to check if your PDF file is Xplore-compliant, OR, else, you can use this site to convert your source files into an IEEE Xplore-compliant PDF file (e.g., for LaTeX users, create a zip file that includes dvi and your eps figure files altogether, and then upload the zip file for the system to convert into a compliant PDF file; for MSWord users, upload the Word file and let it convert and return a compliant PDF file).

  • Go to IEEE PDF eXpress site.
  • Create an IEEE PDF eXpress account (use conference ID: 57075X).
  • Use ‘new user’ if you haven’t used this site before, or enter the same password that was used for previous conferences. Verify that your contact information is valid.

The Paper Title and Author Information you have entered will be used to complete your electronic copyright form and to archive your paper in IEEE Xplore.

Any changes made to a PDF after IEEE PDF eXpress conversion or PDF Checking may invalidate Xplore compatibility. In that case, validate again the updated manuscript.
