• Please prepare your U.S. Letter-size (8.5" x 11") paper as a plain ASCII PostScript file with NO encoding, condensing, or encapsulation. If you plan to submit a PDF file, you MUST adhere to the following PDF specifications:
  
  • optimized,
  • Acrobat 4.0 compatibility,
  • all graphics at least 300 dpi resolution,
  • ALL fonts are embedded and subset,
  • postscript settings DO NOT override distiller settings,
  • page size is 612.0 x 792.0 points (8.5" x 11").
  
  IMPORTANT:
  Authors must check their final pdf files before submission to verify that all fonts have been properly embedded and subset. Some font manufacturers now flag their fonts to not embed. These fonts must be avoided.
• All fonts MUST be Type 1 or 3 PostScript fonts from the Latin 1 Fontset. Our PostScript printers will not recognize any other fonts. Do not use TrueType, bitmapped, or Ryumin fonts. More information regarding PostScript fonts is available at: http://typedriverssupport.adobe.com/adobeknowbase/root/public/tm40b2.htm?DREID=8674
• Guidelines for generating and submitting PostScript files are available on our Internet site at: http://computer.org/author/psguide.htm

• If you are submitting two or more files, please number them: smithj_urquhart1.ps, smithj_urquhart2.ps, etc.
