Check your paper for IEEE compliance with the IEEE PDF eXpress Tool
An electronic version of your final 7-page paper in IEEE eXplore®-compatible PDF format must be submitted to the HST
2022 submission site no later than October 15, 2022. Please note: All pdf files are required to be IEEE Xplore compliant.
HST 2022 is registered for use of the tool IEEE PDF eXpress®. IEEE PDF eXpress is a free service to IEEE conferences,
allowing authors to make IEEE Xplore-compatible PDFs (by using the conversion function) or to check PDFs that authors
have made themselves for IEEE Xplore compatibility (by using the PDF Check function).
Steps for using the IEEE PDF eXpress® tool:
1.
Create your manuscript(s)
2.
Proofread and check layout of manuscript (it is highly recommended that you do this BEFORE going to IEEE PDF
eXpress).
3.
Create IEEE PDF eXpress account. The url to use this tool is: https://www.ieee-pdf-express.org/ The conference ID
will be sent to you via email shortly. Upload source file(s) for “Conversion”; and/or PDF(s) for “Checking”.
4.
Use IEEE PDF eXpress to obtain IEEE Xplore-compatible PDF(s). The site contains extensive instructions, resources,
helpful hints, and access to technical support. Should you encounter issues, please use the resources available.
5.
Once you have a compliant PDF file, log in to the HST 2022 Submission Site and submit your compliant PDF for
collection. Again, the deadline for submitting this final PDF file is October 15, 2022.
This IEEE eXpress site will NOT collect final papers. When you are satisfied with the final paper, be sure to log in to the HST 2022
Submission Site and submit your compliant PDF for collection.

Upload your IEEE compliant pdf file to the HST 2022 submission site and submit your
electronic copyright form
Steps for submitting your final paper for collection:
1.
Log in to the HST 2022 submission site and make sure you select the role of author https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/HST2022/
