General ⇒ postscript path in poster

[john_latex]

Please help with the execution of the desired out from the attached postertex file. I'm using

Code: Select all

pdflatex posterTemplate.tex

obtained the following pdf output.

Please help to obtain the desired pdf output.

As is, the template makes use of the pstricks package and hence cannot be compiled with pdflatex directly. You must use regular latex, and then convert to PostScript, and then to PDF. So the right sequence would be:

Code: Select all

latex posterTemplate.tex
dvips posterTemplate.dvi
ps2pdf posterTemplate.ps

However, I cannot test that properly, since the .tex file requires certain .eps figures, and you did not upload those here, and without them, the file cannot be compiled regardless. See the Post on Avoidable Mistakes.


However I compile that, I get an options conflict for the color package. I was able to fix that just by changing the line:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[usenames]{color}

to simply

Code: Select all

\usepackage{color}

If you're planning on using this template, and don't need the pstricks stuff, probably you can take that stuff out and them compile with pdflatex. Without seeing a real example, however, this is hard to say.
