Access to PDF eXpress Plus, the IEEE's online file conversion/PDF validation tool, will assist authors in preparing suitable electronic files of their final papers. PDF eXpress Plus helps authors convert their papers into IEEE Xplore-compatible PDF files (conversion function) or to check their own PDF files for IEEE Xplore compatibility (PDF validation function). Important: After using PDF eXpress Plus, you will still need to submit the IEEE Xplore-compatible PDF file of your final paper later in this publication submission process (see STEP 5). a) PDF eXpress Plus: Go to http://www.pdf-express.org/plus and follow the instructions. Conference ID: 35594XP b) If you would like to create your own PDF file, please change the setting on your PDF distiller to insure your paper meets IEEE PDF specifications. Basic PDF distiller settings MUST be changed to: Optimized, Acrobat 5.0 compatibility, ALL graphics at least 300 dpi resolution (higher if preferred), ALL fonts MUST be embedded and subset, Postscript settings DO NOT override distiller settings, Page size is 612.0 x 792.0 points IMPORTANT: Authors must check their final PDF files before submission to verify that all fonts have been properly embedded and subset. Some font manufacturers now flag their fonts to not embed. These fonts must be avoided. c) If you would like to submit your source file to PDF eXpress Plus for conversion and validation, PDF eXpress Plus converts the following file types to PDF: Postscript Microsoft Word Freelance PageMaker FrameMaker Word Pro WordPerfect QuarkXpress* Rich Text Format (La)TeX (DVI and all support files required)* * For documents created in formats that do not embed source files, include all support files with the final manuscript 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. 3. Renaming your PDF File for Submission The certified acceptable file you receive from PDF eXpress will be given a filename in the form PID123456.pdf. You should rename this exact file to conform to the following naming convention: lastname-paperID.pdf, where lastname is the last name of the first author, and paperID is the EDAS paper ID assigned to the submission. Please also name your approval email from PDF eXpress using the convention lastname-paperID.pdf. 4: Submitting a Copyright Release Form All authors have to submit the copyright of their papers to IEEE in order to have their papers included in the Med-Hoc-Net 2015 program and conference proceedings.
