Hi,

I am writing a document "second.tex" which refers to labels of defined in "first.tex". I use xr-hyper for that purpose.

I would also like to use \cite{X} where X is defined in the bbl file "first.bbl". Is there any way to do that ?

Currently, I am adding the following line in "second.tex ...

Hi,

Indeed A.tex has its own preamble, with packages and definitions that are in general different from those used in main.tex.

Here is an example:

Main.tex
----------

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[absolute]{textpos}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\pagestyle{empty ...

Hi,

thanks for the reply.
Indeed, A.pdf does not have a fixed size.. In every run it can have a different size. I need something that will work for every size of A.pdf.

the subdocs is nice, but it only shares the .aux, doesn't really gives what I need.

Right now I am using an automatic shell ...

Hi,

I have two source files main.tex and A.tex.
Each file is standalone, so pdflatex main.tex gives main.pdf and similarly A.tex -> A.pdf.

My goal is to put what is in A.pdf in certain position in main.pdf.

Using the answer I got for my previous question:

yep pdfcrop is the solution.

so now my flow is to crop the individual pdfs, and then use textpos to positions them as I wish.

Thank you all very much for your help !

one more comment.
At present I use latex on .tex file to create .dvi, then dvipng -T tight produces .png file that contains only the contents of the .tex without any white spaces.

Can we do the same with pdf ?
I have the .tex files of the .pdf files, but if I compile them with pdflatex (or even ...

thanks a lot!
This indeed solves my main problem how to position the pdfs relatively to each other.

Now, I would like to return to the more simple task of cropping pdf to its tightest boundary box.

I would like to use something like \includegraphics[tight]{a.pdf} so that it will crop all margins ...

Right... but I would like to place them in exact position with respect to each other.
Moreover, I would like to overlay figures, so that one figure is place in front of the other on the same locations. This cannot be done with subfig.

I think that xy gives this capability.
I managed to do the ...

Is there any way to use the xy package for my task ?

I read the manual but it appears to import a single graphics and then to add annotations on it.
What I would like is to import the first input pdf and then import the other pdf and place them in known positions with repsect to the first file ...

this is nice for cropping the input files to their tight bounding box.

but how can I combine them into one file in the positions and scales I need ?

thanks.
