Question

I have to send a paper for a IEEE proceeding and, in the instruction, there is this sentences with no other explanations: "When creating the PDF usage of pdflatex is encouraged".

The question is: I am using Win32, and MikTeX. What are they asking to me?

Instead of pdflatex you could use latex+dvipdfm or latex+dvips+pstopdf or any other text editor whith pdfcreator (or similar) printer. — Ignasi, May 12 '15 at 16:09
