“Such nice guys” definitely rock. Thanks and keep it up.

Saved my life… Special thanks to you for my poster. I think I started to like LaTeX after all =)

Thanks Nath for making this template available. I definitely had to use LaTex for my poster and needed a template that was not out-of-date. Please keep up the good and generous work.

Really interesting. Thanks for that. Looking forward to making mine.

Thanks mate. I hope this makes my poster stand out. Feels good to be out of the clutches of MS for all word/document processing needs.

YES! Just finished up my poster using this template. Looks fantastic printed.

Many, many thanks.

Buddy, the first poster I made with Latex got me the best poster prize in a small meeting (I hope there was more to it than just the word processing tool I used). This cements my trust on everything Latex.

hai, nice to see these zip files. i just want to know how to change the title? its there in the head.pdf but if i want to keep my title how can i do that? looking forward for ur reply. i need this information very urgently. Thanks in advance.

Hi, Thanks for the template. It was very useful

It is really very nice. When I use it, I meet some problem like this
Latex error: file ‘head’ not found.

When I comment \usetheme{confposter}, it can be compiled!

What is wrong?

I was wondering, if I wanted to make a two-panel poster, where the main title would be on one panel (or one half of the whole poster), how can I do that? Thanks! =)

Fantastic template! Thanks very much to you and the Jacobs Uni people!

Thanks for posting this template. You have saved me hours and hours of frustration!

Thanks for the template. I have a problem with the integral operator (and sum) font size being small. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Thanks for the poster. I almost went with Adobe Illustrator and was going to paste math symbols via pdf print outs until I saw this. You’re a life saver.

@Dean

If anyone else has the problem with too-small integral and sum symbols, here is my lame workaround: use \Sigma for the sum and use the package wasysym to get \int correctly sized. I wish I knew a more elegant solution!

Nathaniel,
Thank you for posting your template. I’ll be using a modified version at an upcoming conference.

One small suggestion:
Rather than using \rmfamily all over in the main tex file, you can specify this in beamerthemeconfposter.sty:

% set the fonts
\setbeamerfont{section in head/foot}{series=\bfseries}
\setbeamerfont{block title}{series=\bfseries}
\setbeamerfont{block alerted title}{series=\bfseries}
\setbeamerfont{frametitle}{series=\bfseries}
\setbeamerfont{frametitle}{size=\Large}
\setbeamerfont{block body}{series=\rmfamily} %%% Here is the fix!

Cheers

Thank you for uploading such a nice script. However I have a wishlist. If you could provide an optional column separator, similar to what tabular enviorenment has, then it will be good while separating columns and guiding the view either row-wise or columnwise.

@Haley
Please try putting \usepackage{exscale} right after the \usetheme{confposter}.

Thanks @Fei I had the same problem, works like a charm . (I do get a bunch of missing font warnings but the output looks fine sooo…)

you are so cool for providing all this resources!! Thank you!

Hi,
Thanks for posting this. However, I am having trouble compiling it with my TeXnicCenter. It complains that:
=======================
“(C:\Program Files\…\ifvtex.sty”)latex.exe: GUI framework cannot be initialized.
I couldn’t open file name ‘…\poster.aux’
=======================
Anybody knows what the problem is?

Thanks.

@Wei – See the section titled “TexnicCenter compatibility” on this page.

Nathaniel,
Thanks for providing the template. How can incorporate a logo by the title? I would appreciate your help.

Hi,
How to change the serif font into a sans-serif font?
Thanks!

Hello, I really like the format of the poster, but I want to put a logo on the top right corner, How can I do that? I failed to that.

@Kate

To add a graphic to the top RIGHT corner, try the following code

\title{ \parbox[c]{38in}{Title_of_Poster}
\parbox[c]{6in{\includegraphics[width=5in]{graphic_name}} }

You can play around with the widths of the parboxes until you get the right fit.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

-Nishan

I’m finishing my second poster made using this template. It’s the best thing for the job. Thanks!

It is not working. I need to add logo as well.@Nishan Mudalige

You template is a very nice one!

There is one thing I want to say. If you use *caption* package, the figure number won’t show. So you’d better not to use it.

I am new to latex and have used it to write a university report for which it has been great. As part of my report I also need to produce an A0 size poster which is how I cam across this template. However being new to Latex I am having trouble trying to install this template for use. Any help would be most appreciated.

Thank you, I am trying to create a template for a checklist for the Beechcraft Baron (airplane). I think I can modify what you have.

thx

Thank you so much for posting this, Nathaniel, you’ve saved me!

Thanks for posting this! I received comments on how nice it looked and directed people to your template.

Could someone tell me how to change the size of the text, i.e. adjust the font size just of the text in each column?
Thanks for making this available to use. It’s really great!

Hi Nathaniel,
Thanks for this – it’s a wonderful template. I made a prize-winning poster in the 48×36 inch size, now i’m trying to re-print it in 36×24 inch format to hang in an existing frame. I realize I’ll have to mess with the layout since the aspect ratio is different between the two sizes, but how can I fix the monstrous margins that appear when i change the sizes to the smaller dimensions? Try changing the width/height in your example file…you’ll see the large spaces i’m referring to.

Hi did you figure out how to place the logo on the top besides the title? Your help will be much appreciated.
