| Mar 4, 2016 at 10:37 | comment | added | prashanth | I am very glad to tell that the article got accepted. I uploaded the revision as a separate document and put these in the text box "Response to the reviewer comments is included in an attached file (response_to_reviewer comments.doc). We kindly request to open the document to view the responses." | |

| Feb 22, 2016 at 17:58 | comment | added | Federico Poloni | This is perfectly normal in my field (applied mathematics). ASCII text boxes and equations do not mix well, so most of the times people upload a pdf. This happens the majority of the time: referees submit their reviews as pdf, authors answer in a pdf, and no one bats an eye. | |
| Feb 22, 2016 at 17:54 | comment | added | prashanth | @FábioDias No nothing. As per the website elsevier.com/journals/…, it only asks "Regardless of the file format of the original submission, at revision you must provide us with an editable file of the entire article. Keep the layout of the text as simple as possible." There is nothing as such about the response file. | |
| Feb 22, 2016 at 17:44 | comment | added | Fábio Dias | IMHO, if it wasn't, they wouldn't have provided a button for file upload.... Did you check the guidelines for any mention of restriction/format for the file? | |
