PDF eXpress 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).

All final manuscripts must be generated using the PDF Xpress tool. Submit your final, ready-for-publication paper HERE.

To generate the IEEE Xplore compatible PDF file of your paper:

  • Create your IEEE PDF eXpress account here
  • Conference ID: 70344X
