Prompt
We uploaded our LaTeX source and high-res PDF for AAAI. Is there any metadata action required on the AAAI Press publication portal, or is source file upload the final step? Respond using the bracketed format (`[Camera-ready state]`, `[Proceedings files]`, `[Page status]`, `[Publication obligations]`, `[Final fixes]`).

AAAI Camera Ready
Use this after AAAI acceptance. Reopen the current camera-ready email, publication/attendance page,
author kit, copyright instructions, and proceedings source-file requirements.
Camera-ready checklist
Apply the current AAAI proceedings template and page rules. AAAI-27 allocates accepted main-track
papers 7 proceedings pages plus up to 2 acknowledgement/reference pages, with an option to purchase
up to two additional technical-content pages at $300 each. Camera-ready source files are due
2026-12-14.
Prepare source files as required: LaTeX or Word source, figures, bibliography, style files, and a
high-resolution PDF.
Add author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, funding, and ethical disclosures where required.
Keep all references from the submitted paper unless superseded, and explain major citation updates
conservatively.
Resolve reviewer-facing clarity issues without changing the scientific identity of the paper.
Complete copyright transfer and any AAAI Digital Library metadata.
Ensure at least one author registers and presents the paper, unless current exceptional-circumstance
procedures apply.
AAAI Press production gotchas
AAAI Press compiles the proceedings from your source, so a PDF that looks fine locally can still be
kicked back. The two-column AAAI style is strict about a few things that trip up authors arriving
from single-column or NeurIPS-style submissions:
Do not alter margins, font sizes, or column gap; AAAI explicitly forbids style hacks to gain space.
If you need room, purchase technical pages instead of shrinking the template.
Disable \pdfoutput overrides and embed all fonts; non-embedded fonts are a common rejection.
Move references and acknowledgments into the pages that do not count against the technical limit,
per the current rule, rather than padding the main body.
Restore author block, funding, and ethics statements that were stripped for double-blind review.
Deanonymization sweep
Acceptance reverses the anonymity discipline: now identity must be present and correct, while stale
blind-mode placeholders must go. Walk the paper, supplement, and code for "Anonymous", redacted
citations to your own prior work, and \\if-blind toggles still set to blind.
Use when preparing an accepted ACL main-conference or Findings paper for camera-ready, covering the extra content page, de-anonymization and acknowledgements, AI-assistance disclosure, keeping the Limitations section, ACL Anthology metadata and CC BY 4.0 publication, meta-review-driven edits, and presentation-mode logistics.
