General ⇒ Make a large font LaTeX PNG

[awetawef]

I need to make a large poster board with LaTeX on it. I would love to be able to export a large, say 11''x29'' text block of TeX into PNG format. How can I setup my page so that I can get a textbox of 11''x29'' and also how can I export to PNG?

Thanks.

Also, the way this poster board is being made is by making a large power point and then printing it onto large paper and then thumbtaking it to a board. This is the regulation at my school for science fair. I need to have so way to get my LaTex into powerpoint, and creating a large PNG seems like the easiest way (don't make me use mathtype, please?).

The command line tool dvipng converts (like its name already says) DVI files to PNG pictures. It works similar to dvips and should be part of your LaTeX distribution. Page dimensions can be set with the geometry package.
