including pdf

including pdf

[Andrea Valle]

Hi list!

I have to create the proceedings of a conference.
I'm collecting A4 pdfs (from word/latex templates), and I have to stick them together, adding cover, toc etc

Now, I've used copypages.
The fact is that the included pdfs do not bleed over all the page, their inclusion seems to depend on 
some dimension I'm not able to control via setuplayout.
So, I tested startpagefigure. Works fine but I can include (well, I'm able to) a single page.
More, it seems that numbers of page disappear (while I need them)

Any hints?

Thanks a lot

Re: including pdf

Ok, let's reformulate partially

If I have:

\setuppapersize[A4]

\setuppagenumbering[location=left, state=start]

\starttext

\copypages[pdf/Test.pdf][scale=1000]

\stoptext

Looking at the resulting pdf, it seems that the original pdf is  
mirrored (apart from half a line at the bottom of the paper, trunked).
Ok. But there are not page numbers (I guess they are coverd by the  
imported pdf)

Now, so sum up my problem is:
- given a certain number of A4 pdf
- how to collect them in a unique pdf
- with successive page numbers
- and with refs, so that I can automagically create a TOC

Thanks, best

You can add a layer on top and set page numbers in the layer.

For a quick solution, you can try the cut-n-paste module[1]. It does not 
create a TOC, so you will have to do that by hand (or a helper macro).

\usemodule[cut-n-paste]

\newcount\colledpages

\definecutNpaste[collection][n=1,text={\setups[page]},location=(OverlayWidth/2,1cm)]

\startsetups[page]
   \doglobal\increment{\collectedpages}%
   \collectedpages
\stopsetups

\starttext

\processcollection[name=paper1.pdf]
\processcollection[name=paper2.pdf]
\processcollection[name=paper3.pdf]

\stoptext

The location of the text is controled by the location key. This can be any 
valid metapost coordinate.

The module is actually meant for convert two column pdfs to one column 
pdfs (for reading on an ebook device), so it an overkill for just merging 
pages. You can however control how many pages to insert, (using start and 
stop keys), and draw a grid on the page (grid=yes), and trim the page 
(more complicated).

But, as I said earlier, the simplest way is to just insert the page number 
in a layer.

Hi Aditya,

thanks for your reply and sorry for my late reply, I've been kidnapped  
by another work...
I'd go with the layer solution.
But I don't know to insert a layer for each pdf page.
Could you please provide some hints?

Thanks a lot

Best

BTW, I'm solving it by using copypages and 	a scale=900, so that page  
numbers are visibile.
TOC by hand

Re: including pdf

[Tom]

I have a somewhat related question in that I am creating a document that
will be used as an appendix to other documents. So, I can control the
various aspects of the PDF that is created and use \copypages. What I want
to do is number the pages A-1, etc. (or B-1, etc. depending on which
appendix it will be placed). That will avoid coordinating page numbers with
those in the documents to which it will be appended. What I can't figure out
how to do is to prefix the pagenumber with A- (or B-). It is probably a
simple matter but I can't figure out how to do it.
