General ⇒ Multipage PDF or PS in latex document

[jarihj]

Hi

I am finishing a large thesis, with lots of eps figures. Now I want to include some papers in pdf-format (these are multipage).
I have tried pdflatex and that works- but that does not include any of my eps figures.
Now my idea is to convert the pdf papers (which are multipage) to ps and include these in a way similar to that in pdfpages.
Does anyone know how to include multipage ps-files in a latex document?

beset regards, jarihj

Hi jarihj,

I would consider to convert the eps figures to pdf format. Though there are many I would not expect problems. Then it's possible to use pdfpages together with pdflatex that has some advantages (hyperref, microtype, ...)

Alternatively you could test psjoin or psmerge.

I have the same problem. I much prefer using latex and then dvipdf compared to pdflatex even when using hyperref (more flexible figure input, faster, much smaller pdf generated... for my document anyway).

But now I also need to include some papers at the end of my document which are in pdf form. Is there not any equivalent to pdfpages that can be used with a dvi or dvipdf output?

Hi Bennn,

you could use pdfpages to combine the dvipdf output and the pdf papers. Why should you need an alternative?
Perhaps PDFjam could be helpful too.
