Adding manuscript as appendix keeping orig. page numbers

Post by LordKaldor »

Hello all,

I am writing my economics dissertation in LaTeX and need to add an unpublished manuscript I have written as an appendix since I frequently cite this. I would like this to appear exactly as it exists now, including the title page etc. after the bibliography of my dissertation. However, I also want it to be listed in the table of contents of my dissertation, so I can't just merge the two pdf files. It would also be great if the manuscript in the appendix could show both the page number relative to the beginning of the dissertation and the page number relative to the beginning of the manuscript (so, for instance, it should show 1 (38) or 38 (1) for the first page of the manuscript/appendix which begins on page 38 of the entire dissertation). Is this at all possible?

Hi and welcome,

you can use package pdfpages to include the pdf of the manuscript as it exists now. To add a toc-entry, you can do;

Code: Select all

\cleardoublepage
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Name of your manuscript}
\includepdf[pages=-]{nameOfYourManuscriptfile.pdf}

I didn't quite understand what you mean with the page numbers. With includepdf, you can use pagecommand to place additional material on top of the included pdf.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.
