The Graduate Division provides
 
[http://www.grad.berkeley.edu/policies/pdf/disguide.pdf instructions for electronic submission of the ProQuest copy of your dissertation].
 
This web page provides a variant set of instructions, based on '''pdflatex'''.
 
 
 
==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==
 
* If your ''pdf'' file is over 10 megabytes in length, you will need to send it as a ''zip'' file.  To convert it to a ''zip'' file, use the '''zip''' command.  For example, if the ''pdf'' file is named '''thesis.pdf''', then you can convert it to a file '''thesis.zip''' by typing the command:
 
zip thesis thesis.pdf
 
* Send your file or zipped file as an e-mail attachment to [mailto:edegrees@uclink4.berkeley.edu edegrees@uclink4.berkeley.edu].  Be sure to include your full name, degree and major, and expected filing date in the body of your e-mail.  To send a file as an attachment, you should use a modern e-mail program such as '''pine''' or '''mutt'''; the Unix '''mail''' program is not sufficient.
 
* Currently it takes two working days for Graduate Degrees staff to approve and issue receipts for dissertations filed electronically.  If you plan to submit your dissertation electronically during the week of the filing deadline, please allow two working days for approval of your dissertation.
 
* After your file has been reviewed, you will receive a verification e-mail that certifies whether or not your file has been accepted and gives you a receipt number.
 
* Bring your receipt number and your signed ProQuest agreement form with you when you file the library copy of your dissertation at 302 Sproul Hall.
 
* E-mail the Graduate Division at [mailto:edegrees@uclink4.berkeley.edu edegrees@uclink4.berkeley.edu] if you have any questions regarding submitting an electronic dissertation, or Paul Vojta at [mailto:vojta@math.berkeley.edu vojta@math.berkeley.edu] if you have questions about '''pdflatex'''.
