b. Create IEEE PDF eXpress account (see "Procedure" below)
ACTEA 2009 Conference ID: actea09x

c. Upload source file(s) (your manuscript) for Conversion if it is not in PDF format;

4. Submit final, IEEE Xplore-compatible PDF(s) to ACTEA 2009 at www.edas.info/7181

Please note: Uploading a paper to IEEE PDF Express is not the same as submitting the paper to the conference. You will still need to submit the checked PDF by the normal means through the EDAS website (www.edas.info/7181).
