I am trying to write a poster using the a0poster
class. I have encountered a problem that drives me crazy. It seems that the class creates the correct size of text and spacing but outputs everything on a A4 paper size. So my .tex
file is the following.
\documentclass[portrait,a0]{a0poster}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\begin{document}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse dolor sem, vulputate nec interdum sit amet, convallis sollicitudin ex. Cras hendrerit, augue at scelerisque hendrerit, dui urna aliquet orci, in maximus urna leo vitae nibh.
\vspace{1em}
\hrule
\vspace{1em}
\begin{minipage}{0.49\linewidth}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse dolor sem, vulputate nec interdum sit amet, convallis sollicitudin ex. Cras hendrerit, augue at scelerisque hendrerit, dui urna aliquet orci, in maximus urna leo vitae nibh.
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}{0.49\linewidth}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse dolor sem, vulputate nec interdum sit amet, convallis sollicitudin ex. Cras hendrerit, augue at scelerisque hendrerit, dui urna aliquet orci, in maximus urna leo vitae nibh.
\end{minipage}
\end{document}
This .tex
file produces the following .pdf
Any thoughts on that? Does it create the same .pdf
on your systems? So far I have tried on 2 different computers.

, the paperwidth is 839.6 mm, DIN A0 would be 841 mm, so it is definitely not A4. The pointsize of the current font is 24.88 pt. – Johannes_B May 11 '15 at 13:02pdftex.def
is loaded. Please load packagegeometry
as well. :-) – Johannes_B May 11 '15 at 13:06\usepackage[a0paper]{geometry}
should help – user31729 May 11 '15 at 13:06a0poster
comes with a driver fordvips
to set the correct page size, but not for direct pdf output. This is where filepdftex.def
drops in. – Johannes_B May 11 '15 at 19:33
