IEEE is very strict about the requirements for converting application files to full-text PDF for inclusion in IEEE Xplore®. If you are submitting your own PDF for compatibility check, 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. Use the job options file to set Adobe Distiller to the correct requirements.
