A. Files to Submit: Your actual source file is needed (.doc or .tex), to extract text and data to produce information and metadata for ACM's digital library, but your .ps file (for .tex and .fm submissions) will be distilled to an ACM settings pdf and used for the print, cd and/or the digital library. We recommend using print or high-resolution settings when distilling your pdfs. BE SURE THAT THE FONTS YOU HAVE USED ARE EMBEDDED IN YOUR .PS and .PDF files.
B. Submissions that do not conform to the ACM standards and formats will be returned to the author for corrections and/or alterations. The page size for this publication is US Letter (8-1/2x11). Be sure that there are no bad page or column breaks--meaning no widows (last line of a paragraph at the top of a column). If this happens either tighten the previous column or force a line over. Section and Sub-section heads should remain with at least 2 lines of body text when near the end of a page or column.
