Numerating PDF Links

Hi,

I have a problem with several chapters of my document.
In these chapters I have introduced several scientific articles via pdf-link.
The pdf-document generated is OK, pdf articles are displayed correctly, but they are not numbered.
As I have several articles introduced over the document, the numbering is a mess.

How could I paginate the overall document including articles-pdf?

Hi,

with LaTeX I would use the pdfpages package and its command \includepdf, there I can set a pagecommand option I can use for page numbering or adding a page style. However, I did not use that in LyX.

I have downloaded and activated this pdfpages package.

I have no very clear where to place the codes that you tell me.
In the preamble, I have inserted:
\usepackage{pdfpages}

and in the text, what is the code that you suggest me, Stefan_K? I am too beginner, so I have not enaught clear how I have to insert the \pdfpage and pagecommand option. I have insert this one:

I took your images from imageshack (they annoy with advertising) and put it as attachment to your post, placing it inline. We prefer forum post attachments over external hosting, since external pictures might go away later.

Though the text in your images is hard to read. Perhaps add the error message as text or post a clear cut-out of such a screenshot.

Otherwise, I can attach the lyx-document...

It just looks like to command \includepdf has been used twice. It may be a strange error output, though you might check the code if it happened somehow.

Of course you can also attach the LyX document. Perhaps somebody with LyX can test it. Maybe I'm installing LyX today on another computer, where I plan to install the pretest version of TeX Live 2011, which I expect to be released today.

I have used the command \usepackage{pdfpages} once at the preamble, and once too the command \includepdf.
I do not understand why the error notes \includepdf\includepdf.

I attach the Lyx document.

Edulis · Post by **Edulis** » Mon May 30, 2011 10:21 am

I have solved the problem.

In LyX, when you introduce the external material (pdf document in this case), the program executes directly the command \includepdf.
Before the pdf link, as well as I was entering the same command, the Latex error indicated that there were two \includepdf\includepdf.

I thought that the source of the error was any mistake related to any brackets or any other order that I ignored. It was more simple than that.

In LyX, when you insert the external material (pdf document in this case), in a second tab, there are some Latex and Lyx options. Is here where I have introduced this command:

pages=-, scale=1.1, pagecommand={\thispagestyle{fancy}}

Now, LyX paginates correctly the pdf document.
But here, one other problem arises: How to insert in the TOC all the sections and subsections that the pdf document has, indicating correctly the page where they appear.

P.D. I do not know if I should open a new subject, or follow with this one.

Stefan_K, I greatly appreciate your help
