You may also use the pdf Express service below to create your IEEE Xplore compliant pdf file for submission, or to check your pdf file for compliance with IEEE Xplore.
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).
To access IEEE PDF eXpress™, go to URL http://216.228.1.34/pdfexpress/log.asp
