Camera-Ready Paper Submission

1. Formatting Camera-Ready Paper

• Address all review comments carefully.
• Camera-ready paper must follow IEEE guidelines and template requirements.
• Papers may be returned/rejected if review comments are not properly addressed (TPC decision).
• At this stage, author names, affiliations, emails, acknowledgements, and grant details may be included.
• Title/keywords/abstract/content changes may be accepted only when aligned with reviewer feedback.
• Addition of new authors is not allowed.
• Abstract on EDAS/CMT metadata must match the abstract in the camera-ready paper.
• Only IEEE PDF-compliant PDFs are accepted.
• Do not include page numbers in the final manuscript.

2. PDF eXpress Account and File Validation

Before final camera-ready upload, every paper must be validated through IEEE PDF eXpress to ensure IEEE Xplore compatibility.

1. Go to the PDF eXpress portal and sign in with your PDF eXpress account.
2. If you are a first-time user, create an account using the conference details provided in your acceptance communication.
3. Use the APANConf'26 conference ID and your account email to register/login.
4. Upload your source file or PDF and generate/check the IEEE PDF-compliant version.
5. Download the validated PDF and use that version for the final camera-ready submission.
6. Keep the PDF eXpress confirmation for your records until proceedings finalization is complete.

3. IEEE Copyright Guideline

IEEE copyright instructions are shared directly with corresponding authors of accepted papers.
