STEP 2: Generate your PDF file using IEEE PDF eXpressTM

IMPORTANT: Please do not include any page number, EDAS number, or the conference name in the PDF file.

IMPORTANT: Papers must be submitted in Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF) format. The PDF files must pass the compatibility test at IEEE PDF eXpressTM. Otherwise, your paper may not appear in the IEEE Xplore if it fails the compatible test.

IEEE PDF eXpressTM allows you to convert your Word, LaTeX, or range of other source files into IEEE XploreTM compatible files (preferred option). Alternatively you can use PDF eXpress to check your own pdf files for compatibility.

2.1 After creating your manuscript(s) using the template detailed in step 1, use IEEE PDF eXpress to obtain IEEE Xplore-compatible PDF(s). For this purpose, go to
Website: (To be confirmed)
   
2.2 Click on the 'New User' option to create an IEEE PDF eXpress account.
Conference ID: (To be confirmed)
   
2.3 Upload source file(s) for Conversion and/or PDF(s) for checking. The site contains extensive instructions, resources, helpful hints, and access to technical support .
   
2.4 Proofread the PDF file generated thoroughly. There could be missing symbols, equations, graphs and also errors reported. Please re-prepare the source file and repeat the conversion again. If problem persist, please use the online help provided in the PDF eXpress’s site to seek for their advice.

IMPORTANT: Only after you obtain IEEE Xplore-compatible PDFs then proceed to Step 3. Any attempt to bypass the problem MAY result in your paper not be included in IEEE Xplore. Author with multiple papers are to make submission separately.

STEP 3: Submit the paper and copyright form through EDAS

3.2 Update the authors' list, paper title, affiliation and abstract. The information will be used to prepare the final program and the table of content of conference CD.
