IEEE PDF eXpress: http://216.228.1.34/pdfexpress/log.asp Conference ID: noms06 |
NOMS 2006 has registered for use of a new IEEE tool: IEEE PDF eXpress™
The new IEEE Xplore® Requirements for PDF will be enforced as of 2005. 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:
IEEE PDF eXpress will be available on 20-Jan-2006.

IEEE PDF eXpress converts the following file types to PDF:
*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).
