All my figures were pdf, which possibly explains why I didn't have any re-sizing issues. But as far as I remember, Elsevier is using pdflatex to create the pdf and using texlive 2009 (I saw this when I got errors in compiling the document) Yes - all files in one directory is important, but I usually prefer to have them in separate sub-directories (graphs, pictures, ...) to not clutter the directory to much - but I might change this for the next paper. > > - Use the elsarticle class.

Which ones were they? I followet the elsevier template, and got (hopefully) everything in. One thing: they wanted double line spacing, while the option "review" for the document class only gives 1.5 line spacing - so this needed to be changed. I think this information should go on the wiki - we should possibly have one section about submitting articles to journals, sorted by publisher, so that we can get that information collected.
