Formatting

The accepted file formats for your paper are Adobe Acrobat PDF or PostScript. 
If you can produce PDF which follows the guidelines in this document, please 
do so and submit a PDF document. If you cannot, a PostScript file is acceptable.

Image Resolution

If your paper includes images, it is very important that they are of sufficient
resolution to be faithfully reproduced.

To determine the optimum size (width and height) of an image, measure the 
image's size as it appears in your document (in millimeters), and then 
multiply those two values by 1.2. The resulting values are the optimum 
X and Y resolution, in pixels, of the image. Image quality will suffer if 
these guidelines are not followed.

Example 1:
An image measures 500 mm by 750 mm when placed in a document. This image 
should have a resolution of no less than 600 pixels by 900 pixels in order 
to be reproduced faithfully. 

Example 2:
Capturing a screenshot of your entire 1024 x 768 pixel display monitor may 
be useful in illustrating a concept from your research. In order to be 
reproduced faithfully, that 1024 x 768 image should be no larger than 85 mm 
by 64 mm (approximately) when placed in your document. 

PDF Generation

Your final paper should be delivered as a PDF document with all typefaces 
embedded. LaTeX users should use 'dvips' and 'ps2pdf' to create this PDF 
document. Adobe Acrobat Distiller may be used in place of 'ps2pdf.' 

Adobe PDFWriter is not acceptable for use. Documents created with PDFWriter 
will be returned to the author for revision. 

'pdftex' and 'pdflatex' (and its variants) can be used only if the author 
can make certain that all typefaces are embedded and images are not 
downsampled or subsampled during the PDF creation process. 

Users with no access to these PDF creation tools should make available a 
PostScript file and I will make a PDF document from it.

'dvips' should be invoked with the '-Ppdf' and '-G0' flags in order to 
use Type 1 PostScript typefaces: 

  dvips -Ppdf -G0 -o mypaper.ps mypaper.dvi

'ps2pdf' should be involved with the following flags, in order to embed 
all typefaces and ensure that images are not downsampled or subsampled 
in the PDF creation process: 

   ps2pdf -dMaxSubsetPct=100 -dCompatibilityLevel=1.3 \
         -dSubsetFonts=true -dEmbedAllFonts=true \
         -dAutoFilterColorImages=false \
         -dAutoFilterGrayImages=false \
         -dColorImageFilter=/FlateEncode \
         -dGrayImageFilter=/FlateEncode \
         -dMonoImageFilter=/FlateEncode mypaper.ps mypaper.pdf

'ps2pdf' users should ensure that their version of 'GhostScript' is at 
least 6.50 and preferably version 7.0 or higher. 

A PDF document containing information on properly configuring Adobe 
Acrobat Distiller (or Adobe's free online PDF creation service) is available 
online at http://www.siggraph.org/publications/prep/distiller-configure.pdf.
