SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Designing a conference poster that is readable from a distance, fits exact size requirements, and passes print-quality checks is error-prone, especially when integrating figures, managing multi-column layouts, and avoiding content overflow. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three LaTeX poster packages: Ready-to-customize templates for beamerposter, tikzposter, and baposter covering A0, A1, and 36×48" sizes with multi-column layouts. - AI-generated visual workflow: Guidance and scripts for generating simple, poster-readable graphics with strict limits on elements, words, font sizes, and white space, plus mandatory pre- and post-generation review gates. - Quality control pipeline: Automated PDF review script and checklists covering page size, font embedding, image DPI, overflow detection, and reduced-scale test prints. - Use Case: A researcher preparing an A0 poster for a NeurIPS session generates three simple result graphics, assembles them into a tikzposter template, compiles with pdflatex, and runs the review script before sending the PDF to a professional printer. ## Quick Start Create an A0 portrait research poster in LaTeX using the tikzposter template with sections for introduction, methods, results, and conclusions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a research poster in LaTeX?▼

Choose a poster package such as beamerposter, tikzposter, or baposter, copy the corresponding template, and replace the placeholder title, authors, sections, and figures with your content. Compile with pdflatex or lualatex to produce the final PDF.

beamerposter vs tikzposter vs baposter: which should I use?▼

beamerposter suits users familiar with Beamer who need institutional themes and fast compilation. tikzposter offers modern, colorful, highly customizable designs via TikZ. baposter provides structured multi-column layouts with automatic box positioning.

What font size should poster body text be?▼

Body text on a poster should be at least 24pt, with section headers at 48-72pt and titles at 72pt or larger. Text inside figures should use 80pt or more for labels and 120pt or more for key numbers so it stays readable from several feet away.

How do I fix content overflowing the poster edges in LaTeX?▼

Check the log file with grep -i overfull poster.log and inspect all four edges at 100% zoom. Reduce sections to five or six, cut total words below 800, size figures at 0.85\linewidth instead of full width, and increase document margins as a last resort.

Why are my poster images blurry when printed?▼

Blurry images come from raster graphics below 300 DPI at final print size. Use vector formats like PDF or SVG where possible, and verify embedded image resolution with pdfimages -list on the compiled PDF.

Does the poster PDF need embedded fonts for printing?▼

Yes, professional printers typically reject PDFs with unembedded fonts. Compile with pdflatex -dEmbedAllFonts=true and confirm with pdffonts that every font shows yes in the embedded column.
