IV. *Acceptable File Formats/Recommended Fonts
Authors are required to upload their source file(s).
Acceptable formats for submission are as follows:
- Microsoft Word
- WordPerfect
- Rich Text Format
- (La)TeX w/ DVI **
- PageMaker **
- FrameMaker
**If your file format does not permit embedding of images/graphics these files must be submitted in addition to your source file. Create a compressed file using any of the common compression programs such as WinZip®, PKZIP®, or StuffIt®. Common file extensions for such compression programs are: .zip, .tgz, .gz, .tar, .sit, .bin, and .hqx. Upload the compressed file to the site.
LaTeX users must submit a .dvi file and the graphic files (.eps) used to create the LaTeX document. If your graphic files are not located in the same folder as the LaTeX document (.tex,) you must create your compressed file with the folder structure preserved. This is so that when the files in the compressed folder are uncompressed, the files are located where the .dvi expects to find them. The best way to create your .tex is to have the graphic files located in the same folder as your .tex. This way when you create the .dvi file, it will expect to find the graphic files in the same folder that it is located. And, it insures that the compressed file will include all the necessary files to create the .PDF file.
One of the most common problems with LaTeX submission is missing graphic files.
The following fonts are the preferred fonts for conversion to PDF:

Assigning a status to your PDF simply means you must Approve or Not Approve the PDF. On the "Assign File Status" page, select one of the following options:
- "Approve PDF" - means that your PDF is as you expected and does not require any changes. Assigning this status makes your submission available for peer review.

- "Delete Paper" - will delete your paper from the site.
- “Withdraw Paper” - will withdraw your paper from the proceedings.
- “Request Manual Conversion” - use this status if you find an error that you cannot make a correction to in your source file. You will be prompted to enter a comment about what is wrong with your PDF. Your submission will be manually processed and a new PDF will be made available for your review. NOTE: This status requires a manual review of the conversion and can take up to 24 hours. Manual conversions are done during normal business hours Monday through Friday. Wait until you receive an email notifying you the revised PDF is available for review.
