  2. Click on ‘New User’ to create your own IEEE PDF eXpress account for Fusion 2023 using the Conference ID provided – 52260X.
  3. If you have used IEEE PDF eXpress before, the system will recognize you as an existing user, but you still need to set up your account for Fusion 2023.
  4. Upload source file(s) for conversion and/or PDF(s) for checking. The site contains extensive instructions, resources, helpful hints, and access to technical support.
