Poster Tips:  We recommend that you prepare your material in PowerPoint due to its ease of use, and general availability. Create a custom-sized slide at your actual size up to 54 inches square. Be aware that there is a bug in PowerPoint 2003 for Windows; it will allow you to create slides up to 56 inches square, but items along the right-hand edge will print incorrectly. We have found that 54 inches is the actual maximum safe size. PowerPoint 2007, PowerPoint 2010, and the Macintosh versions do not have this bug. If you need a poster larger than the sizes available in PowerPoint's Page Setup dialog, say 36 inches by 60 inches, work at one-half size (18” x 24” in this example) and we will scale it up to your requested size as we print it.

If you prefer to work in an application other than PowerPoint, we can also accept PDFs, but keep in mind that we cannot make edits or corrections to a PDF if there is a printing problem.
