  • Convert a Word Document file to a PDF file which is compatible with the IEEE Xplore format, OR
  • Verify whether or not your existing PDF file is compatible with the IEEE Xplore format.

It is strongly recommended that you use the IEEE eXpress service to convert your Word Document file that you have prepared using CENCON 2019 Full Paper Template to the PDF format.

In order to do the conversion or verify the format, please follow the following instructions:

The certified file is labeled as “Certified by IEEE PDF eXpress” with an exact date and time stamp in its document properties. Follow these steps to check whether it is the correct file to be uploaded.
