3. Check your manuscript for IEEEXplore compatibility using the steps below:

ACTEA12 has been registered for use of IEEE PDF eXpress™ . 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 IEEEXplore compatibility (PDF Check function).

a. Go to IEEE PDF eXpress: www.pdf-express.org

b. Create IEEE PDF eXpress account (see "Procedure" below)
ACTEA 2012 Conference ID: actea12x

c. Upload source file(s) (your manuscript) for Conversion if it is not in PDF format;
and/or upload your PDF file  for Checking if already in PDF format

d. Use IEEE PDF eXpress to attain IEEE Xplore-compatible PDF(s). The site contains extensive instructions, resources, helpful hints, and access to technical support.

4. Submit final, IEEE Xplore-compatible PDF(s) to ACTEA 2012 at www.edas.info/12799

Please note: Uploading a paper to IEEE PDF Express is not the same as submitting the paper to the conference. You will still need to submit the checked PDF by the normal means through the EDAS website (www.edas.info/12799).
