Document Classes ⇒ importing multiple page pdfs

[pooley343]

I am trying to import a multi-page pdf (a report not written by me) into my own report. I have tried using the \includegraphics{???.pdf} but this only takes the first page.

Anyone know how to make it take every page and make sure that each page of the inputted report is on its own page in my report?

The only way I have been able to do it is print out each page as its own pdf and importing each page separately. Is there a better way?

Have a look at the pdfpages package. The documentation will help you to get along.

Not exactly, you can include any of the pages, just use the page key: \includegraphics[page=nn]{file}

localghost has already suggested the pdfpages package, which defines the \includepdf command. That's the simplest way.

Yes, of course, as said above. Just a final remark. If you experience problems with the \includepdf command and would like to directly use \includegraphics, it is not necessary to write this command one time per page. You can include a full document or a part of it with a simple loop. Look here.

This was an extremely helpful post for me. I've inserted multipage documents.

But now I would like to number these pages according to their place inside the latex document. I would like to superimpose the correct page number on top of the inserted PDF.

Is this possible?

thanks,
Bobby

Search the pdfpages manual for the pagecommand option.
