Many thanks for your reply, Hans.
I’m afraid that we have 35 different types of documents, with optional
content implemented through modes. CSV is handled by the handlecsv
module by Jaroslav Hajtmar (which in turn uses LuaTeX code from ConTeXt).
My Lua script would have to replicate at least part of this
functionality. I don’t say it is impossible. But I’m sure it is
impossible to me (I cannot code). Or at least, it would be unnecessarily
complex.
A good compromise would be a Lua script that copies the original file
with only one page in each copied file (in some documents, I need two
pages, but this will come later). I mean, those documents have metadata
information and printing options which need to be present in all copies.
I think this should be an easy hack, but I don’t know where to search.
The “LuaTeX Reference Manual” contains “12.3 The epdf library”. “MkIV
Hybrid Technology” has the chapter “12 Including pages”.
I will appreciate any help with this script.
Pablo
