General ⇒ Included PDF pages in the Appendix

[ozmank8]

Hi,

I am trying to attach external pdf i.e edocs of erlang. And I tried to do with

Code: Select all

\appendix
\label{app:appendix}
\section{Appendix}
\includepdf[pages=-]{edoc/edoc.pdf}

In this case the appendix starts with blank page and then from next page I can see edocs. I want the attach edocs with heading Appendix on same page.

Kindly reply.

Search the pdfpages manual for the pagecommand option given to the \includepdf command.


Best regards and welcome to the board

As far as I know, the only way to put additional content on the same page as a page included with \includepdf is to use picturecommand= or picturecommand*= options. This uses a picture environment, so if you want to use something like \section{...}, it'll need to be put in a \parbox, and you'll need to manually position that \parbox with a \put command (well, there may be some way to automate this, but I don't know what this is off the cuff).

Code: Select all

\appendix
\includepdf[pages=-,picturecommand*={%
     \put(133,660){%
         \parbox{\textwidth}{\section{Appendix}\label{app:appendix}}
     }}]{edoc/edoc.pdf}
\end{document}
