| − | ==New for Fall 2009==
| |
| − | The Graduate Division recently changed its requirements for electronic submission of theses. As of Fall 2009, doctoral dissertations must be submitted
| |
| − | electronically; for masters' theses this is apparently not permitted for Fall 2009. For detailed instructions, see the [http://grad.berkeley.edu/policies/pdf/disguide.pdf Instructions for Preparing and Filing Your Thesis or Dissertation]. This section gives instructions specific to LaTeX.

| − | For doctoral dissertations submitted electronically, the formatting requirements have changed. To accommodate these changes, follow these steps:
| |
| − | * use '''\documentclass{ucthesisnew}''' instead of '''\documentclass{ucthesis}'''
| |
| − | * do not use the '''\abstractsignature''' macro in your abstract
| |
| − | * the '''\prevdegrees''' macro will be ignored (if used)
| |
| − | * use the '''\approvalpage''' macro only when you need to print the approval page, not in the final submission. You can print just the current page from '''xdvi''', '''evince''', or Adobe Reader ('''acroread''').
| |
| − | * don't use the '''twoside''' option for final submission (page numbers are not allowed in the upper left-hand corner).
| |
| − | * the Dissertation Release Form is up to you
| |
| − | * the new document class is installed on the thin client server, but to use it you need to type the following command, just once, in each terminal window in which you plan to use TeX:
| |
| − | set path = (/local/depot/texlive-2007/bin $path)
| |
| − | | |
| − | These instructions may (and probably will) change for Spring 2010.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Creating the PDF file==
| |
| − | * Instead of typing '''latex''' to create a ''dvi'' file, type '''pdflatex''' instead. If you have just run '''latex''' several times to create a ''dvi'' file, then you need to type '''pdflatex''' only once; otherwise you should run '''pdflatex''' and '''bibtex''' in the same sequence as you would run '''latex''' and '''bibtex''', respectively, to create a ''dvi'' file. | |
| − | * Check the thesis by running '''acroread''', '''evince''', or '''gv''' on the resulting ''pdf'' file. | |
| − | | |
| − | ==Sending the PDF file==
| |
| − | To begin the process of submitting your thesis electronically, create a ''pdf'' version of your thesis using '''pdflatex''' and submit it at http://www.etdadmin.com .
| |
| − | Further steps are described in [http://grad.berkeley.edu/policies/pdf/disguide.pdf Instructions for Preparing and Filing Your Thesis or Dissertation].
