Getting published in a top journal is a big deal, and if you can land a long article in TAC, that would be really impressive

Is it useful to send an appeal letter to the editor-in-chief after a paper is rejected in the second review? The second review results in two reviewers accepting and one reviewer rejecting the paper. We sent an appeal letter to the editor-in-chief via email, but it has been three days and we have not received a response. Will the editor-in-chief reply?

Do we need to test this PDF Test when submitting it for review? Is it for plagiarism check or to ensure it meets the journal's formatting requirements?

Do I need to upload a single-column version as an attachment for the TAC submission?

Will new reviewers be added during the TAC major revision phase? I submitted a long TAC article, and the initial review result was rejection with encouragement to resubmit. I have been very nervous since the revision, not knowing if new reviewers will be added. Have any experienced peers encountered similar situations?

Can anyone tell me how long it usually takes for a first review result? I have been under review for over four months now and the status hasn't changed. Does a longer review time mean a higher chance of a positive result? Has anyone been rejected after being under review for more than four months?

24 months in the making, the long article was received. For some reason, each of my reviewing cycles lasted more than half a year on average. After urging the editors multiple times, the reviewing process was finally sped up. 
2021.9 - Submitted long article
2022.5 - Reject and Resubmit for long article, resubmitted after revisions
2023.4 - Reject and Resubmit for long article
2023.9 - Accepted without changes as Paper (1P

Control the white moonlight of researchers in the field of science and technology.
The requirements are very high, and the review process is very long. Previously, I submitted a Full Paper, and it went through three rounds of reviews, taking nearly 20 months. However, the quality of the review comments is much higher than those of similar journals I have submitted to. Many of the comments show that the reviewers have deep insights into the relevant aspects. I sincerely thank the editor and the reviewers.
P.S. The classification of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is currently just for entertainment. Even the top journals in robotics are still in the second tier. I heard that there are still super top journals in mathematics and operations research in the third tier... Reputation is something that is known by everyone.

In English, the translation of the text is: "In the circle, it is well known that TAC and Automatica are the top international journals in the field of automation."

May I ask, in the status of TAC, does "Under review" mean it has been sent for external review? Or does it still remain in the editing and reviewing process? I am not sure if there is a difference between "Under review" and "Under Review" in the TAC status.

This journal ranks among the top five in all IEEE TRANS, completely dominating TCYB and TIE. It being classified as "second-tier" in the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) classification is simply laughable!

Rejection and Resubmission (Short Text), it has been 4 months and 20 days already, and there is still no news. Does this mean the chances of success are slim?
