IEEE PDF eXpress

ROBIO 2006 has registered for use of PDF eXpress™.

The IEEE Xplore Requirements for PDF will be enforced. All conference articles submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore must be in Xplore-compliant PDF format. IEEE offers PDF eXpress to IEEE conference authors, allowing them to generate Xplore-compliant PDFs and/or to check PDFs for their Xplore compliance.

Steps for using PDF eXpress:

  1. Proofread and check layout of manuscript. (It is highly recommended that you do this BEFORE going to PDF eXpress.)
  2. Create a PDF eXpress account.
  3. Upload source file(s) for Conversion or PDF(s) for Checking.
  4. To use PDF eXpress to create Xplore-compliant PDFs, follow the extensive online instructions, resources, and helpful hints at the PDF eXpress site.
  5. Even if you use the PDF eXpress Conversion facility to generate a PDF, you should still check its Xplore compliance.
  6. Once your PDF is checked to be Xplore PDF compliant, submit it through the ROBIO 2006 paper submission site.

For your information, 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, you must 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 problems, 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 your paper cannot be converted. Also make sure 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).

To create your PDF eXpress account, visit the URL below

http://216.228.1.34/pdfexpress/log.asp

And click “New users – click here”. Enter robio06 for the Conference ID, your email address, and choose a new password. Continue to enter information as prompted. You will receive an email confirming the successful creation of your account.

Through your PDF eXpress account, you may submit your source application files for conversion to PDF, and/or submit PDFs for checking. You will have the opportunity to revise your submission if you are not satisfied with the PDF that PDF eXpress creates for you, if you find mistakes in your manuscript, or if your PDF fails the PDF Check. Technical support via email and telephone is available if you experience trouble in creating your PDF.

Then, submit your Xplore-compliant PDF on line via the ROBIO 2006 submission page.
