When asked for Conference ID, enter “48266X” (without the quotes). Upload your camera-ready manuscript in one of many formats supported by the service and download your validated PDF when ready.  IEEE eXpress can read the following formats:

  1. Microsoft Word, eXpress will convert it into the validated version of PDF.
  2. PS (postscript), eXpress will convert them without a problem.
  3. ZIP file containing DVI file plus EPS files for graphics, eXpress will render them and output PDF for you.
