Commonly encountered problem 

Please note the following commonly-encountered problem which can arise when uploading papers to EDAS.  The platform can return the following error despite there being no apparent problem when visually inspecting the manuscript:

  • Upload failed: The top margin is 1.754 cm on page 4, which is below the required margin of 1.8 cm (or a similarly worded error referring to side-margins, or different measurements, or different pages).

This error often occurs when the bounding box surrounding a figure extends slightly into the margins. This is not noticeable, as the bounding box is white and is extending into a white space.  A simple fix is to make the image slightly smaller, and then resubmit.
