Adding PDF images

Post by buttnana »

Hi,

I am trying to add some images from a pdf file, I've read online that I can use the pdfpages package to do it, but unfortunately, I don't have the package and I won't be able to install it (work computers won't allow any changes to the system).

I am wondering if there is any other ways for me to add or merge a separate pdf file into the latex.

Thank you all

Hi,

it seems closely related to your other question. \includegraphics is an option.

If you don't have administrator access to your computer, you could install pdfpages into your home texmf tree, i.e. to ~/texmf/ or /home/yourname/texmf, or your home drive - it depends on your system. Usually a user can install something for himself, and this has priority over system installed packages.
