  • Accepted papers exceeding the normal length may be included in the proceedings uponpayment of over-length page charges with each page in excess of six pages, up to a

2) Generation of the PDF file and validation of the manuscript by IEEE PDF eXpress

Prior to submission, the final manuscript PDF file must be validated by IEEE PDF eXpress to ensure that it is IEEE Xplore-compliant.

  • Go to IEEE PDF eXpress Website at https://www.pdf-express.org/.
  • If you are a new user, select ‘New Users – Click here’ and enter the Conference ID (seebelow), your email address and choose a password. If you have used previously PDF

    eXpress you should enter the same password that was used for previous conferences.

  • The conference ID is the following:

        o   For papers: Use conference ID: 51703X (NOTE: Site opens: 2020-10-15)

• Once inside PDF eXpress you have two options:

       o Option 1 (Recommended):

For executing this option, you have to select “Create New Title”, introduce the title of the paper, and then upload the source files. Once the file is converted, download it. This will be the final manuscript file that you will have to upload later on in EDAS.

o Option 2

You can validate a PDF file generated previously with any other tool. If you choose this option, please make sure that all the fonts are embedded, there are no bookmarks and no links (URLs).
