Why You Need to Use PDF Express

The IEEExplore requirements for PDF are enforced as of 2005. All conference articles submitted to IEEE sponsored conferences must be in IEEExplore-compatible PDF format.

IEEE offers PDF Express as a free service to IEEE conference authors, allowing you to make IEEExplore-compatible PDFs (Conversion Function) or to check PDFs you have created yourself for IEEExplore compatibility (PDF Check Function).

Advantages to Authors

  • It provides a means for you to convert your files to PDF, without requiring you to have access to a conversion program.
  • This conversion is provided in an IEEExplore compatible format, without you having to worry about conversion settings.
  • The system emails the converted file back to you, so you can make sure that your contribution is IEEExplore compatible and that no unintended corruption occurred.
  • It ensures that your paper views and prints as well as possible in IEEExplore.
  • By minimizing the risk of post-processing problems, it reduces the amount of time it will take for your paper to appear on IEEExplore.
  • It greatly simplifies the task of conforming to IEEE submission requirements.
