printing 1 pdf as 2 seperate pdf's

Post by ivanwest »

Hello,

I am printing my thesis to pdf, however I have to submit annexes as a seperate pdf.
I have written my thesis and annexes as one pdf, which means the references are spread over both parts

Is there a way to print to pdf, without printing the annexes. However, I still need to read the annexes otherwise I will get errors about references when printing the thesis part.

Hope this makes sense.

Any help is always greatly appreciated

Ivan

I assume that you have divided your source code into different files (i.e. each chapter), which you are including with the \include command. You then could create a list of files that have to be included when printing your annexes separately. Take this as an example.

Code: Select all

\includeonly{%
% intro,           % include intro.tex
% chapter1,
% chapter2
  annexes,         % includes annexes.tex
}
Lines with comments are not included. So, in this case only your annexes are in the final output. References are kept untouched and will appear normally since the *.aux files of the whole document are utilized.


Best regards

Hi Ivan,

another option is to use pdfpages to split the complete pdf into parts.
