If it is possible, try to use Adobe Acrobat PDF distiller rather than Adobe Acrobat PDF Writer. It is also important to create the PDF file on the same machine where the original document was created. This will insure that the fonts necessary for viewing and printing the resulting PDF file are available during PDF creation.

The file must be self-contained: all figures and tables should be in the same file as the text of the paper.

Fonts should be limited to those used in the paper, and they should be embedded in the PDF file. Embedding fonts essentially means to include in the PDF file the information necessary to re-create the characters used in your PDF file. It is advised to use western-encoded versions of the fonts Times (Times New Roman), Helvetica (Arial), and Symbol, and the standard distributions of Computer Modern.

If you cut a figure from a graphics program and paste it into a document, be sure you have the entire figure and be sure that it looks right when you're done.

Please look through your PDF file before uploading it to make sure that everything that you want in the file is there, and that it is properly formatted and in the right order.
