General Notes

The poster was created with the help of Brian Amberg's LaTeX Poster Template.

The source is a bit commented, however, there are some minor caveats one should be aware of when compiling them.

Compiling the sources

I ran into some minor issues while using the template. Ain't sure ir it is an issue on other systems (I had Windows 7x64 with MiKTeX v2.8).

The best way to evade them is to use pdflatex instead of latex to create the poster. If it is required, latex may also be used, you can find some minor workarounds for the issues rising below.

No background image is displayed

Clean the project by deleting the following files:

• poster.aux
• poster.dvi
• poster.log

Then recompile the sources. The background image should be displayed.

Backround image positioning problem workaround

1. First, change the document class options as follows:

    %\documentclass[a0paper,portrait]{baposter}
    \documentclass[a4paper,portrait]{baposter}
   

Just change a0paper to anything else (a4paper just worked for me, ain't sure about the others). 2. Compile the sources. 3. Change back the document class definition to a0paper, and the result should show the background image properly.
