When i am include this pdf the pages are blank.
I am using Linux Mint and TexStudio.

\includepdf[fitpaper=true,pages={-}]{../pdfs/mRNA-1273-VX-Patent-Landscape.pdf}

Thank you
Jim

I cannot reproduce the problem here.

Do you have error messages or warnings in the log file?

Does the same happen, if you copy the PDF into the working directory and remove the ../pdfs/ part from the path?

Does the same happen, with a minimal example like:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{pdfpages}

\begin{document}
\includepdf[fitpaper=true,pages={-}]{mRNA-1273-VX-Patent-Landscape.pdf}
\end{document}

if you copy the PDF into the working directory of that minimal example?

If this works, can you show a minimal working example of the problem and maybe also the log file?

Thank you for the answer, just run minimal.
Same condition.
I am attach 1.tex and 1.log files and the produced 1.pdf
Thank you
Jim

You are using TeX Live 2015. This is very, very old. Currently TeX Live 2021 is up-to-date. So maybe it is a problem with the also outdated dvipdfmx backend. Maybe it cannot handle the PDF version 1.7 of mRNA-1273-VX-Patent-Landscape.pdf.

You could try pdfLaTeX instead of XeLaTeX. But I don't know, if embedded PDF 1.7 in a PDF 1.3 or PDF 1.4 produced by the old pdfTeX is allowed.

You could also install an up-to-date TeX Live.

Alternatively you can first convert the file mRNA-1273-VX-Patent-Landscape.pdf from PDF 1.7 to, e.g., PDF 1.4 or PDF 1.3.

Thank you.
I just update Live-Tex to version 2019 and everything works fine.
Thank you
Jim.

Why the also out-dated TeX Live 2019? The currently up-to-date TeX Live is 2021.
