A LaTeX sample file (nolta2024.tex) will show you how to use the style file. We also provide a Microsoft Word template (nolta2024.docx) and a sample paper in PDF format (nolta2024.pdf). The following style files will link soon. Plesae wait.

Creating PDF files

1. Software

As mentioned above, only electronic submission of papers in PDF format is accepted. There are several methods for creating PDF files: Adobe Distiller, PDFWriter, ps2pdf, dvipdfm, pdflatex, and so on. Generally, Adobe Distiller provides higher quality output than others, and is therefore preferred.

2. Embedding Fonts

All fonts must be embedded into the PDF file of your paper including the following standard 14 fonts:

• Courier
• Courier, Italic

Before submission, please make sure that all fonts are embedded into the PDF file you have created. To view the font information for a PDF, open the file in an Acrobat Reader, go to the File menu, select Document Info, and then Fonts. The Font Info dialog box displays font information. If Used Font column is set to Embedded or Embedded Subset, it means that the font is correctly embedded.
