[Tex/LaTex] Switch baposter paper size from a0 to a1

baposterposterstemplates

I know there are multiple other questions of the same sort, however, I did not manage to get any of them to work. I am using this template.

I changed the document class from:

\documentclass[a0paper,portrait]{baposter}

to:

\documentclass[a1paper,portrait]{baposter}

Also, I set:

\columnsep=70pt
\columnseprule=3pt

However, the layout is still not right. Any ideas?

Looks like you'll need to adjust the fontscale as well:

\documentclass[a1paper,portrait,fontscale=0.43]{baposter}

The larger the fontscale value, the smaller the body text size is. By default "The poster is typeset with standard font sizes on a ‘fontscale times papersize’ paper, and then scaled up by 1/fontscale to the chosen paper size." (from the documentation at http://www.brian-amberg.de/uni/poster/).
