Page Layout ⇒ includepdf TOC numbers

[vaalsta]

After the titlepage of my report I want to have three pages before the contents page (letter, abstract, acknowledgements) with page numbers i, ii, iii. The letter page is a pdf included with \includepdf. I want the contents page to include all these sections (with their appropriate page numbers) but without section numbers.

The way I have it the abstract and acknowledgement sections display correctly on the toc (I used section*) but the includepdf page (letter to the dean) shows the section number with a big 0.1 at the start of the line. How do I get rid of this?

btw: This is my first attempt at a MWE. I wasn't sure what to do with the deanletter.pdf.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,twoside,12pt]{report}
\usepackage[final]{pdfpages}
\usepackage[USenglish]{babel}
\title{Thesis Title}
\author{Me}

\begin{document}

\pagenumbering{roman}
\maketitle
\newpage
\setcounter{page}{1}
\includepdf[addtotoc={1,section,1,Letter to the Dean,letter}]{./sections/deanletter.pdf}

\section*{Abstract}
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\numberline{}Abstract}
This is the text of the abstract
\newpage


\section*{Acknowledgements}
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\numberline{}Acknowledgements}
Thanks etc.

\tableofcontents %Table of contents

\newpage
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\chapter{Introduction}

\end{document}

This?:

Code: Select all

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\numberline{}Letter to the Dean}%
\includepdf{./sections/deanletter.pdf}

You may attach files using "Upload attachment" tab just below the box you're writing in.

Ahh, I solved it. I'm not sure why it works (maybe someone could enlighten me) but if I change the includepdf option from:

Code: Select all

\includepdf[addtotoc={1,subsection,3,Letter to the Dean,letter}]{./sections/deanletter.pdf}

to:

Code: Select all

\includepdf[addtotoc={1,section,1,Letter to the Dean,letter}]{./sections/deanletter.pdf}

it doesn't display the numbering and correctly aligns the text.
