IEEE PDF eXpress account for IEEE/ASME 2008:

 
IEEE PDF eXpress Access: http://216.228.1.34/pdfexpress/log.asp

 
Conference ID: aim08x
 

If you prepare the PDF file by YOURSELF, use Adobe Acrobat or other software tools to convert your manuscript to PDF with all the fonts embedded and subsetted. AFTER the conversion, the PDF file MUST be checked and passed by the IEEE PDF eXpress.

Alternatively, you can use IEEE PDF eXpress service to convert your source file to IEEE Xplore compliant PDF file. 

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)

It is important to note that submitting a file to IEEE PDF eXpress is only for creation of a compliant PDF file, you must still submit your final paper through IEEE/ASME AIM 2008 website.

Step IV: The authors must submit the confirmation email (saved in a txt file) that the IEEE PDF eXpress service sends to you after your PDF file passes the IEEE PDF eXpress compliance check, together with your final submission of the checked and passed paper PDF file.

Step V: The authors of a submitted paper must prepare a single-page digest PowerPoint file for inclusion in the IEEE/ASME AIM 2008 Program Digest to be distributed to all registered participants of the IEEE/ASME AIM 2008 conference. The Conference Program Digest includes general information and the complete technical program with each paper presented in a PowerPoint slide window, summarizing each paper within all the technical sessions. To prepare the single-page PPT file, please use the PPT template and follow the instructions given therein. The Program Digest will be printed in full color, color pictures and illustrations are highly encouraged. Please have your one-page digest PPT file ready for upload when accessing the final submission page.
