## Quick Reference: Common Issues
| Issue | Quick Fix |
|-------|-----------|
| Large white margins | Reduce margin in documentclass: `margin=5mm` |
| Text too small | Increase scale: `scale=1.5` in beamerposter |
| Blurry figures | Use vector graphics (PDF) or higher resolution (600+ DPI) |
| Colors wrong | Check RGB vs CMYK, test print before final |
| Fonts not embedded | Compile with: `pdflatex -dEmbedAllFonts=true` |
| Content cut off | Check total width: columns + spacing + margins = pagewidth |
| QR codes don't scan | Increase size (min 2×2cm), ensure high contrast |
| File too large | Compress: `gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer ...` |
