Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format through the ANTEM 2005 Electronic Paper Submission System to be accessed at antem2005.ietr.org ( click here ) at the latest on January 6, 2005. Other formats like Word (*.doc) or Postscript (*.ps) cannot be accepted nor can we accept submissions by hardcopy, fax or e-mail. You can use Adobe Acrobat, Ghostscript or any other conversion tool to create PDF files but avoid using the "PDF Writer" which creates insufficient files for high quality printing. Make sure you embed all the fonts in the PDF file and create a high quality (high resolution) PDF. When using Adobe Acrobat please choose the "PRESS-READY" option to create your PDF (Never use the "PRINT-READY" or "Screen" or "E-BOOK" option!). If you use any other PDF tool always choose those options providing the highest quality (e.g. in Ghostscript choose the 720 dpi option and set Options/PDFSETTINGS to /prepress). Detailed instructions on how to create PDF files can be found here.
