General ⇒ PDFpages and Hyperref

[ddenton]

I am importing from PDF files using PDFpages using code that looks like this:

\includepdf[pagecommand={\thispagestyle{plain}}, pages=1,
fitpaper=true, addtolist={1, map, Area of fieldwork activities
and place names mentioned in the text,
carte_mentionnes}]{figs/carte_mentionnes}

This works very well and addtolist= creates the proper line on the TOC.
However, the link back to the imported page does not work. Instead, the TOC link takes my to the first page of my document. I have tried link=true but cannot get this to work.

Could some one please tell me how to make hyperref and PDFpages work together so that the TOC links work back to the included page.

Thanks!

Could you provide a minimum example reproducing the error you're confronted with? The code you posted above works if I use it in the following way:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[demo,english,all]{article}
\usepackage{babel,blindtext,pdfpages,hyperref,hypcap}
\def\demofig{\begin{figure}\centering\includegraphics{foo}\caption{I'm figure \thefigure}\end{figure}}
\begin{document}
  \listoffigures
  \Blindtext
  \demofig\demofig
  \includepdf[%
    pagecommand={\thispagestyle{plain}},
    pages=1,
    fitpaper=true,
    addtolist={1,figure,{Some interesting title},fig:pdf}]%
  {foo}
  \Blindtext
  \demofig\demofig
\end{document}

I'm having the same problem....here's a MWE:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsthm,paralist}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\listoffigures
blah blah blah~\ref{sBib}
\includepdf[pages={1-5},
addtolist={5, table, Literature references for annotated genes, \pageref{sBib}}, label={sBib}]
{Image}
\label{sBib}
\end{document}

How do I get the label so that I can refer to this pdf figure elsewhere in my document?

From your code I assume that you want to insert an image in PDF format. If so, just use the \includegraphics command from the graphicx package.

Sorry for the confusion. I'm actually trying to add a 'supplementary bibliography' which is 5 pages long and contains references for certain figures. I know, bibtex makes bibliographies...but my boss is difficult and insisted this bibliography be prepared in word. Rather than having to convert to bibtex, I'd like to just insert the pages as pdf print-out. Does this help clear things up?

I think you probably want something like:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsthm,paralist}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\listoftables
blah blah blah~\ref{sBib}
\includepdf[pages={1-5},
addtolist={1, table, {Literature references for annotated genes}, sBib}]{sbib.pdf}
\end{document}

For addtolist, the first number gives how many pages into the included pdf you want the list to link to -- presumably you want this to go to the first page, not the last one, if you're inserted five pages.

You'd want a list of tables not a list of figures if you're adding this as a table. (Do you really want it as a table though?)

The last thing is the actual name of the label you want if you want to refer to this elsewhere. It's not a place to refer to the label.

For myself, the package only seems to work to the extend of placing my figure into the list of figures. But when I attempt to use

Code: Select all

\ref 

or

Code: Select all

\pageref 

to refer to the figure, it produced a compiler error - Reference undefined.

Any help into what the problem can be is greatly appreciated. I have followed the instructions on this forum as thus far.
