    • If you are a L A T E X user, use the document class file in this zip file. You can create an IEEE Xplore compliant PDF file by following two simple steps:

      1. Convert all figures included in your latex file so that they use embedded fonts (if this is not already the case). This can be done figure by figure by using the following command:

      eps2eps -dEmbedAllFonts=true figure_old.eps figure_new.eps

      If you are using bash as a shell, and want to convert all your figures at once without changing the filenames in your latex file -  open a shell, change to the directory where the eps figures reside and type (without line breaks):

      for I in `ls *eps`; do mv $I $I.OLD; eps2eps -dEmbedAllFonts=true $I.OLD
      $I; done

      2. Convert the dvi output of latex to pdf by using the following commands (you may have to use ps2pdf14 instead of ps2pdf):

      dvips -Pdownload35 -G0 -tletter -o paper.ps paper.dvi
      ps2pdf -dEmbedAllFonts=true paper.ps paper.pdf
