<h3>File Formats:</h3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<span class="guideheader">T</span>he formats which are accepted in general are: PostScript (.ps), PDF (.pdf),
Word (.doc), Tex/LaTex (.tex). The prefered format is PDF. We have an automatic conversion process which
allows us to propose both PostScript and PDF online. The conversion PostScript<->PDF is made on-the-fly which
means the files are accesible as soon as the submission is finished. In general, <B>you should always check your
files (and the converted ones)</B> once you have finished the submission and your report as been integrated
in our database.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<h3>Picture File Formats:</h3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<span class="guideheader">T</span>he prefered format for picture files is JPEG (preferably 144 dpi and not
a too small picture ~A4). We also accept PDF encapsulated pictures. In both case a gif icon is created on-the-fly
for every transfered picture.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<h3>File Names:</h3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<span class="guideheader">T</span>he file names should not contain any white space, nor any special
characters.<BR>
<span class="guideheader">T</span>he extension of the file should be more or less standard (the check is
case-insensitive): .ps fo PostScript, .pdf for PDF etc.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<h3>File Sizes:</h3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<span class="guideheader">T</span>he size of the files you transfer to us is controlled and restricted. If the
size of your file is too big, consider that somebody with a poor network connection will never be able to download
and thus read it. A possible solution in this case is to split your file into several chapters for example and transfer
the next chapters as <B> additional files</B>.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<h3>File Uploads:</h3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<span class="guideheader">Y</span>ou always have to use the "browse" button when uploading a file. A dialog
box will then pop-up and you will be able to indicate your file. Then click on "OK", the dialog closes, and the path
to your file will appear in the input box, at the left of the button. The file will then be transfered the next time you
change page. <B>Please NEVER type the path to your file by hand in the input box!</B> If the path you typed in
is wrong, you will not notice it and the file will not be transfered. You avoid errors like this by using the "browse"
button.<br>
