Creating and Printing an Academic Poster

Some classes may require students to create and print an academic poster for presentation during class or a campus event.

Software Needed

The print shop requires a PDF file for printing a poster. While students can use professional design software such as Adobe Illustrator or Adobe InDesign to layout a poster, most students use PowerPoint to create the poster and then save the poster slide as a PDF file before sending it to the print shop.
