IEEE is very strict about the requirements for converting application
files or PostScript files to full-text PDF for inclusion in IEEE
Xplore®. Please follow the instructions in "IEEE
PDF File Preparation Guide for IEEE Xplore" that describes
the essential steps in distilling PDFs that meet the IEEE requirements.
The most important issue that every author shall pay attention
to is to make sure that all the fonts used in your papers are
EMBEDDED and SUBSETTED, especially for papers from Asia and Europe.
The "IEEE
PDF File Preparation Guide for IEEE Xplore" details the
steps for you to check and to make sure that all fonts used are
embedded and subsetted. Failure to embed and subset fonts is the
biggest obstacle to PDF compliance with IEEE Xplore® and please
make sure that your PDF files are compliant with IEEE Xplore®.
Papers failing to meet the IEEE Xplore® PDF requirements will
be rejected. That's why is essential to submit the PDF eXpress compliance email.
