SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires python-pptx, and includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Creating research posters in PowerPoint format typically requires manual layout work in slide software. This Skill builds posters with HTML/CSS templates that can be exported to PDF or converted to PPTX, with AI-generated visual elements sized for poster viewing distances. ## Core Features & Use Cases - HTML/CSS Poster Template: A ready-made 36×48 inch template with header, three-column layout, styled content blocks, and footer for references and contact info. - AI Visual Generation Workflow: Guidance for generating hero images, workflow diagrams, and results graphics with enforced poster-readable font sizes (80pt+) and simplicity rules (3-4 elements max per graphic). - PDF and PPTX Export: Browser print-to-PDF, headless Chrome export, LibreOffice conversion, or direct PPTX creation with python-pptx. - Use Case: A researcher needs an editable PowerPoint poster for a conference. The Skill generates simplified AI visuals, assembles them in the HTML template, previews in a browser, exports to PDF, and converts to PPTX for final editing. ## Quick Start Create a PowerPoint research poster about my study on antibiotic resistance prediction using the pptx-posters skill.

Frequently Asked Questions about pptx-posters

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

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

Build the poster with the HTML/CSS template, generate AI visuals for each section, preview in a browser, then export to PDF and convert to PPTX using LibreOffice or python-pptx. The template uses a 36×48 inch three-column layout.

How do I convert an HTML poster to PPTX?▼

Export the HTML to PDF via browser print or headless Chrome, then run libreoffice --headless --convert-to pptx poster.pdf. Alternatively, use python-pptx to build slides directly by inserting the generated figure images.

When should I use PPTX posters instead of LaTeX posters?▼

Use this approach only when PowerPoint format is explicitly required, when you need to edit the poster in PowerPoint afterward, or when LaTeX is unavailable. For standard academic posters, LaTeX tools like tikzposter or beamerposter offer better typographic control.

What font size should poster graphics use?▼

Poster graphics need 80pt minimum for labels and 120pt or larger for key numbers, since posters are viewed from 4-6 feet away. Each graphic should contain at most 3-4 elements, under 10 words total, and 50% white space.

Why does my exported poster PDF have missing backgrounds?▼

Browser print dialogs disable background graphics by default. Enable the 'Background graphics' option in print settings, set the paper size to match poster dimensions, and remove margins before saving as PDF.

How much text should a research poster contain?▼

Keep total word count between 300-800 words with 50-100 words per section and a maximum of 5-6 sections. Exceeding 1000 words makes posters unreadable; cut extra content or move it to a handout.
