- Prepare a scanned version of the signed IEEE Copyright Form (PDF version - WORD version).  

- Visit the IEEE PDF eXpress using the conference ID 3dtvcon07 to verify that you have IEEE Xplore-compatible:

Instructions for using PDF eXpress

Prior to submitting your final papers, please visit IEEE PDF eXpress to either:

• Convert your papers from a wide range of application formats to IEEE Xplore-compatible PDFs. Supported file formats are: Rich Text Format, Freelance, (La)TeX (DVI and all support files required), PageMaker, FrameMaker, QuarkXpress, Word Pro, Microsoft Word, WordPerfect

OR

• Check existing PDFs (produced by your page-setting software e.g. Latex, Word, etc) to find out if they are IEEE Xplore-compatible (and how to fix them)

Once you verify that you have IEEE Xplore-compatible versions of your manuscripts, you can then submit them to 3DTV CON 2007.

Please note the information within the following textbox. It is the information for logging onto the website for validating the IEEE Xplore compatibility of your submission to the 3DTV Conference, using IEEE’s PDF eXpress service.

In both cases (convert or check) you will need to visit IEEE’s PDF eXpress website and submit one or more (.tex users) document files in source or PDF format. Once you obtain a confirmation of compliance you can submit your camera ready document, IEEE assures us that your paper will be added in IEEE’s electronic library without any page setting and/or numbering problems.

Here are the instructions for the overall procedure:

1. Make sure that you produced the document using the .tex, or .doc template downloaded from the 3DTV Conference website (http://www.3dtv-con.org/PaperKit.html). Note that if you simply downloaded these templates and you did not alter any of the document settings (such margins, default fonts associated with headings etc) your document should comply to the specification. The most common cause of trouble are usually page or type setting instructions that were accidentally included through copy-pasting from different documents. As a first line of defense, please take into account the following:
• Word users: Do not copy-paste from another formatted document – at least not including its formatting typesetting (e.g. including paragraph margins, line-distance etc settings). The simplest remedy is to paste your text in a text (.txt) document (e.g. use Notepad), so that it is relieved from any formatting setting. Then paste it back to the 3DTV Conference template.
• Latex users: Do not include any Latex’s page / type setting command or document template setting commands in your source file that e.g. may alter the default font size or page margin size. Cut and paste only your text into the given .tex template. Use the examples in this template to define your figures, bib items etc.
2. Visit the PDF validation website for the 3DTV Conference at http://216.228.1.34/pdfexpress/log.asp to create your personal account. You should provide the conference ID 3dtvcon07 and your email address. If it is your first time to visit this website then note the “New users click here link” and use it to create your account. Then use the service to submit your document. Once the document is successfully transmitted to IEEE’s website your account will be aware of the submission transaction. You will also receive email acknowledgement of the transaction. The validation of your document may take more than a few minutes. The webpage you’ve visited shows, on-line, the status of your account; you may have to use the “Reload” button on your browser to update. When the document is checked, you should receive the result in an email notification and the webpage of your account should be updated.
3. If you have received a confirmation of compliance, please save this confirmation message for future reference. Then you are ready to submit your camera ready document. Please visit https://www.softconf.com/starts/3dtv07/ and enter the passcode associated with your submission.
4. If document turns out not to be compatible with PDF eXpress, troubleshooting information and FAQs can be found at the IEEE PDF eXpress helpdesk. Note however that if you’ve used the 3DTV Conference templates the most probable causes of trouble should be those listed at 1 of this list.
