Abstract: Methods, systems, and related computer program products for facilitating the generation of a document, such as a scientific poster, to be viewed by a community of human viewers in association with a hosted event, such as a scientific conference, are described, the generated document conforming to document configuration guidelines previously established for that hosted event. Provided in one preferred embodiment is an interactive document creation tool that constrains user input of content data according to constraints specified in the document configuration guidelines and then automatically generates the document from the content data in compliance with those document configuration guidelines, sparing substantial user time and effort particularly when a pre-existing antecedent electronic document is used as a basis for the content data.
