He uses \special{papersize=...} *and* sets the page dimensions
using a0header.ps:
%%BeginFeature *PageSize ISOA0/ISO A0
2 dict dup /PageSize [2594 3370] put dup /ImagingBBox null put
setpagedevice
%%EndFeature
At least
dvips -t unknown -Ppdf poster
seems to work. Now both the .ps file and the .pdf file can be read
entirely.
BTW:
* bibTeX complains:
This is BibTeX, Version 0.99c (TeX Live 2009)
The top-level auxiliary file: poster.aux
The style file: alpha.bst
Illegal, another \bibstyle command---line 7 of file poster.aux
: \bibstyle
: {alpha}
I'm skipping whatever remains of this command
Illegal, another \bibdata command---line 8 of file poster.aux
: \bibdata
: {poster.bib}
I'm skipping whatever remains of this command
Database file #1: poster.bib.bib
(There were 2 error messages)
And there are LaTeX warnings:
LaTeX Warning: Label `Aut2001' multiply defined.
LaTeX Warning: Label `eqn:first' multiply defined.
LaTeX Warning: There were multiply-defined labels.
Yours sincerely
