I was able to export graphs as a.emf or.wmf and insert them into powerpoint and the graphs were still somewhat editable. I could change the text for the axis, or the colors for the curves or font sizes. Now I am working on a Mac OS 10.6 with the Mac version of Igor Pro and the Mac version of Powerpoint (latest versions of each).
Import into IllustratorYou can import Photoshop, PDF, image, and vector files by choosing File→Place. The Place dialog box opens and you can choose a file to import. Click Place to import the file.An Import dialog box may appear at this point, depending on the type of file you’re importing. This dialog box offers several options for choosing a way to import the content into Illustrator. For example, you can sometimes choose between flattening layers or retaining layers when you import a document containing layers.Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) is a commonly used file format for saving vector drawings (although it can be used for other file types as well).
Because this file format is used in many programs, you may find other people giving you these files to work with.To import an EPS document, you also choose File→Place; after you import an EPS document into Illustrator, the file is converted to Illustrator objects but isn’t editable. To edit the EPS object, choose File→Open to open the file, or double-click the image name in the Links panel.You can also import text files into Illustrator.
Microsoft Word, TXT (text only), RTF (Rich Text Format), and Unicode, among other text documents, are all supported by Illustrator, and you can import them by choosing File→Place. When you import the text file, you’re prompted to choose the character set used for the text. You can not only use the Place command for importing files but also copy and paste from other programs. You can select part of an image in Photoshop and copy it to the Clipboard by pressing Ctrl+C (Windows) or Cmd+C (Mac) and then pasting it into the Illustrator document.Use the Place command whenever possible to avoid losing quality in the content you’re importing. Also, transparency isn’t supported from one application to another when you copy and paste, but it is when Place is used.When you have particular plug-ins installed, you can import additional file types, such as CAD files, into Illustrator. Export Illustrator filesIllustrator supports exporting to many different file formats.
You can export files in a long list of image formats. Choose File→Export, and the Export dialog box opens. Click the Save As Type (Windows) or Format (Mac) drop-down list to view the exportable file formats.After you choose a file type to export to, a second dialog box may appear, allowing you to enter a bunch of settings for the exported file.
Powerpoint is the absolute worst piece of software to do these things (it is the worst software to do anything - even presentations, but that is another story). I would not wish my worst enemy to have to make a scientific poster in powerpoint.
That said, lots of people do it and consequently get terribly frustrated and end up with ugly posters. Do yourself a favor and get illustrator. Even Pages would work better, due to its pdf support. There is no good way (at least on the mac) of getting any graphics from a non-MS source into powerpoint that does not loose transparency, loose all kinds of graphics info or other horrible stuff.
Illustrator, Pages, Omnigraffle, Lineform, etc all do because they support eps, pdf, png with full transparency, etc. If you do anything scientific, you're going to have to get graphs from something else, such as Igor Pro, into your poster.

If you do anything scientific, you're going to have to get graphs from something else, such as Igor Pro, into your poster.Ahhh yes, I forgot about the transparency issues. That is a total cluster screw. To be honest, I haven't done a poster in a couple years now, and maybe it was a PC that I did it on. But my memories of making a poster in PPT were 'Oh, that was easy. Finally something PPT is useful for'.
Then again, it was a fairly simple poster I threw together for a last minute thing. Options include: Pages, lineform, Illustrator, LaTeX.What is best for you depends on deadlines, what you already know, and what needs to be on that poster.Pages: Easy to use, full support for pdf, not meant to be used for such things, you will hit some boundaries with this tool.lineform: can do this, easy learning curve, cheap, supports linkback (easy imports from LaTeXiT and OmniGraffle). Recommended.Illustrator: Very powerful, will do anything. Unless you already have experience with it, don't use this. Too many options, too many ways in which to screw up. If you need equations on your poster, then make sure to remove the fonts from the pdf (LaTeXiT has options for this).
Linkback in lineform is way easier.LaTeX: Pretty steep learning curve. I may have a template for you if you're interested. Not meant for visual layout, and you will bang your head against a wall at some point (from sheer frustration).OmniGraffle: see lineform.Maarten. I made a poster in PowerPoint a while ago. I was expecting the worst, but it was a pretty good experience overall. I'll probably use it again next time I have to make another one.However, I always prefer a solid white background, so I never run into issues with transparency.
But from what I remember you can easily copy-paste transparent graphs from Igor Pro, if you happen to use it.As for the alternatives, I like Latex for my typing needs, but I don't think it's suited for making the kind of precise layout that you'd want for a poster (unless you are willing to invest a LOT of time into it, or happen to have a great template lying around). Powerpoint sucksYou can make it swallow transparency if you export images to high-resolution Photoshop (psd) files. I do this all the time from graffle because presentations must be cross platform (i.e. Powerpoint) to avoid emergencies.I've heard of using OmniGraffle for posters and would encourage this practice for those in a $pinch$. InDesign is great for making posters: it's a much better choice than Illustrator or Photoshop (eek!).I am a LaTeX user and can't see how anyone can expect to get decent presentation materials out of it.

Beautiful typography has nothing to do with a presentation. LaTeX really has nothing to offer for presentations, however it is hard to climb out of the hole - View image here: -.

I do this all the time from graffle because presentations must be cross platform (i.e. Powerpoint) to avoid emergencies.For talks, I use Keynote exclusively.
For emergencies I export my presentations as QuickTime movies (platform independent). I also bring along a copy of Keynote to install on another Mac if mine suddenly packs up at a conference. A few years ago, this might've presented a problem, but at the last few conferences I've gone to, Apple laptops have not only been abundant, they've been noticeably dominant among attendees. This approach has the advantage of allowing me to use all of Keynote's great presenter-display features, but has the obvious disadvantage of breaking the EULA. I wish Apple would release a (platform agnostic) Keynote Player App so I didn't have to do this.CheersEdit: I should note for any Apple lawyers that may be reading this, I've never actually had to use this last resort of installing Keynote on someone else's machine. I just bring the CD along with me in case of dire emergency. Please don't use PowerPoint.It's funny.
I was just at an Engineering Open House at our university, and all the posters were made in powerpoint. It was attack of the Word-Art-Titles and pixelated photos. Someone had to physically restrain me from destroying the poster with the Comic Sans on it.Personally, I use Illustrator for posters.
But I'd be very interested in the LaTeX template mentioned above. I've really become a TeX fiend over the last couple years, and I'm trying to use it for more applications (besides large documents). Originally posted by Maarten:LaTeX: Pretty steep learning curve. I may have a template for you if you're interested. Not meant for visual layout, and you will bang your head against a wall at some point (from sheer frustration).I'd definitely be interested if you have that template handy.At work I have a semi-official TeX template (note: not LaTeX) for poster conforming to the official style guide of the institute.
You can't have that - View image here: -I do have some older stuff, but it is not really easy to use and before I invest time: I have A0, landscape or portrait. Anything else is not really an option for me.The class is simple though: start with the article class, use the geometry package to set the paper size, use the a0poster class to get the font sizes right, and then use a set of minipage environments (possibly including wrapfig) to place the contents (I used a picture environment to position everything). You might try a three or four column layout. However, rendering pages separately without page numbers, and then placing those in a visual layout application is probably a lot easier.Maarten. Originally posted by dh87:Most posters are composites of figures. If you're making the poster in a program other than the one used for the original drawings, then you probably can't manipulate the original figure, for example, by rearranging or re-sizing its elements so that it will fit into the poster.That is why I love lineform: equations (LaTeXiT) and figures (OmniGraffle or Lineform) can be editted by a simple double click (linkback). I would not use LaTeXiT for long pieces of text (what are those doing on a poster anyway), but use an external pdf instead.Maarten.
Plus you could even win again!!This month to get our GIRL SCOUT CRACK (girl scout cookies x green crack) seeds out there everyone that comments will win GIRL SCOUT CRACK seeds.To enter this competition simply comment and say 'SEEDSMAN I WANT TO WIN' then message me your name and address and you have won, its that simple. Well this comp everyone is a winner!! Everyone that enters a comp wants to win, yes? Motorola scout crack. YES EVERYONE!!
Now, to be upfront, I'm new to macs having purchased my first one just last fall. That being said I've created many posters that look very professional when I go to scientific meetings, I've got.jpgs of some of them at my website if you want proof ( )Anyway, as many others have said, don't use powerpoint, its a horrible tool for this job and you'll end up hating life for anything but the simplest posters. My favorite by far has been Canvas (by Deneba or ACD, one bought the other). I just did a quick check of their website and they seem to make mac versions so I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. It did a much better job for me than Illustrator or anything else down the line./thad. I just recently used OmniGraffle to make a poster for our Home Owners' Association.
Worked a treat, though it can be limited at some points. I'm sure though that for most people wanting to make basic, nice looking posters, OmniGraffle will suffice.I used it, 'cause I already had a license. Use The Gimp for photos and graphics, OmniGraffle to do text and layout.EDIT:Holy carp! I just took a look at the posters made by some of the others and I was clearly thinking of the wrong kind of posters - View image here. I've printed scientific posters as a job in a campus computer lab and we had horror stories of the things that PPT would do to sabotage a poster. Sometimes problems would show up immediately, sometimes they wouldn't show up until it was actually printed.
There was no way to tell if there would be a problem, but it occurred often enough.And by 'problem', I'm very vague also. Sometimes random filled polygons would appear. Sometimes things would disappear. Sometimes they wouldn't work period. Sometimes we would try converting to a different format, then printing.
All problems were traced back to PPT.Technically, we didn't even support printing from PPT because it was so awful. Please people, bring in PDFs or Illustrator documents.I heard that after I left they figured out a program that would reliably print PPT files (and it wasn't PowerPoint). Some responces:1.
I've had a quick look at Lineform and I think it may be a suitable tool for creating poster. It's UI is very similar to that of Omnigraffle, which certainly helps! - View image here: -2. Whilst I do use LaTeX for writing my papers, I do find the placement of bitmap graphics in LaTeX something that which I struggle with and thus I don't really relish using it create a poster!3.

If you need equations on your poster, then make sure to remove the fonts from the pdf (LaTeXiT has options for this).
Linkback in lineform is way easier.LaTeX: Pretty steep learning curve. I may have a template for you if you\'re interested. Not meant for visual layout, and you will bang your head against a wall at some point (from sheer frustration).OmniGraffle: see lineform.Maarten. I made a poster in PowerPoint a while ago. I was expecting the worst, but it was a pretty good experience overall. I\'ll probably use it again next time I have to make another one.However, I always prefer a solid white background, so I never run into issues with transparency.
But from what I remember you can easily copy-paste transparent graphs from Igor Pro, if you happen to use it.As for the alternatives, I like Latex for my typing needs, but I don\'t think it\'s suited for making the kind of precise layout that you\'d want for a poster (unless you are willing to invest a LOT of time into it, or happen to have a great template lying around). Powerpoint sucksYou can make it swallow transparency if you export images to high-resolution Photoshop (psd) files. I do this all the time from graffle because presentations must be cross platform (i.e. Powerpoint) to avoid emergencies.I\'ve heard of using OmniGraffle for posters and would encourage this practice for those in a $pinch$. InDesign is great for making posters: it\'s a much better choice than Illustrator or Photoshop (eek!).I am a LaTeX user and can\'t see how anyone can expect to get decent presentation materials out of it.

Beautiful typography has nothing to do with a presentation. LaTeX really has nothing to offer for presentations, however it is hard to climb out of the hole - View image here: -.

I do this all the time from graffle because presentations must be cross platform (i.e. Powerpoint) to avoid emergencies.For talks, I use Keynote exclusively.
For emergencies I export my presentations as QuickTime movies (platform independent). I also bring along a copy of Keynote to install on another Mac if mine suddenly packs up at a conference. A few years ago, this might\'ve presented a problem, but at the last few conferences I\'ve gone to, Apple laptops have not only been abundant, they\'ve been noticeably dominant among attendees. This approach has the advantage of allowing me to use all of Keynote\'s great presenter-display features, but has the obvious disadvantage of breaking the EULA. I wish Apple would release a (platform agnostic) Keynote Player App so I didn\'t have to do this.CheersEdit: I should note for any Apple lawyers that may be reading this, I\'ve never actually had to use this last resort of installing Keynote on someone else\'s machine. I just bring the CD along with me in case of dire emergency. Please don\'t use PowerPoint.It\'s funny.
I was just at an Engineering Open House at our university, and all the posters were made in powerpoint. It was attack of the Word-Art-Titles and pixelated photos. Someone had to physically restrain me from destroying the poster with the Comic Sans on it.Personally, I use Illustrator for posters.
But I\'d be very interested in the LaTeX template mentioned above. I\'ve really become a TeX fiend over the last couple years, and I\'m trying to use it for more applications (besides large documents). Originally posted by Maarten:LaTeX: Pretty steep learning curve. I may have a template for you if you\'re interested. Not meant for visual layout, and you will bang your head against a wall at some point (from sheer frustration).I\'d definitely be interested if you have that template handy.At work I have a semi-official TeX template (note: not LaTeX) for poster conforming to the official style guide of the institute.
You can\'t have that - View image here: -I do have some older stuff, but it is not really easy to use and before I invest time: I have A0, landscape or portrait. Anything else is not really an option for me.The class is simple though: start with the article class, use the geometry package to set the paper size, use the a0poster class to get the font sizes right, and then use a set of minipage environments (possibly including wrapfig) to place the contents (I used a picture environment to position everything). You might try a three or four column layout. However, rendering pages separately without page numbers, and then placing those in a visual layout application is probably a lot easier.Maarten. Originally posted by dh87:Most posters are composites of figures. If you\'re making the poster in a program other than the one used for the original drawings, then you probably can\'t manipulate the original figure, for example, by rearranging or re-sizing its elements so that it will fit into the poster.That is why I love lineform: equations (LaTeXiT) and figures (OmniGraffle or Lineform) can be editted by a simple double click (linkback). I would not use LaTeXiT for long pieces of text (what are those doing on a poster anyway), but use an external pdf instead.Maarten.

Now, to be upfront, I\'m new to macs having purchased my first one just last fall. That being said I\'ve created many posters that look very professional when I go to scientific meetings, I\'ve got.jpgs of some of them at my website if you want proof ( )Anyway, as many others have said, don\'t use powerpoint, its a horrible tool for this job and you\'ll end up hating life for anything but the simplest posters. My favorite by far has been Canvas (by Deneba or ACD, one bought the other). I just did a quick check of their website and they seem to make mac versions so I wouldn\'t hesitate to recommend them. It did a much better job for me than Illustrator or anything else down the line./thad. I just recently used OmniGraffle to make a poster for our Home Owners\' Association.
Worked a treat, though it can be limited at some points. I\'m sure though that for most people wanting to make basic, nice looking posters, OmniGraffle will suffice.I used it, \'cause I already had a license. Use The Gimp for photos and graphics, OmniGraffle to do text and layout.EDIT:Holy carp! I just took a look at the posters made by some of the others and I was clearly thinking of the wrong kind of posters - View image here. I\'ve printed scientific posters as a job in a campus computer lab and we had horror stories of the things that PPT would do to sabotage a poster. Sometimes problems would show up immediately, sometimes they wouldn\'t show up until it was actually printed.
There was no way to tell if there would be a problem, but it occurred often enough.And by \'problem\', I\'m very vague also. Sometimes random filled polygons would appear. Sometimes things would disappear. Sometimes they wouldn\'t work period. Sometimes we would try converting to a different format, then printing.
All problems were traced back to PPT.Technically, we didn\'t even support printing from PPT because it was so awful. Please people, bring in PDFs or Illustrator documents.I heard that after I left they figured out a program that would reliably print PPT files (and it wasn\'t PowerPoint). Some responces:1.
I\'ve had a quick look at Lineform and I think it may be a suitable tool for creating poster. It\'s UI is very similar to that of Omnigraffle, which certainly helps! - View image here: -2. Whilst I do use LaTeX for writing my papers, I do find the placement of bitmap graphics in LaTeX something that which I struggle with and thus I don\'t really relish using it create a poster!3. Adobe Illustrator/InDesign is a far above my salary unfortunately! - View image here: -Thanks for your responses. It\'s much appreciated!Saad.
