General ⇒ listing both tables and figures in addtolist in PDFPages

[seadawg]

Hi,
I am using the pdfpages package to include a reprint of a journal article in my dissertation. I am using the addtolist command to add the figures and tables from the included pages into the main document's list of figures and list of tables. It is only partly working. Here is what is happening:

1) If I just do figures, in order of included page number, it works fine.

Code: Select all

\includepdf[pages=-, addtolist={2,figure,Location Figure,fig:2.1[,3,figure,Space-time Evolution of Mw $\ge$ 5.0 Earthquakes on Discovery,fig:2.2[,4,figure,Bathymetry of the Discovery Transform Fault,fig:2.3[,7,figure,Example of a Relative Relocation,fig:2.4[,8,figure,Relocation of the 1998 Mw 5.5 Earthquake,fig:2.5[,9,figure,Repeating Rupture Patches on the Discovery Transform Fault,fig:2.6[,9,figure,Microseismicity on the Discovery Transform Fault,fig:2.7[,10,figure,Differential First Arrival Times for P- and S-waves between Stations D01 \& D07,fig:2.8[,11,figure,Map View and Cross-section of the Combined Seismicity on Discovery, fig:2.9]]]]]]]]}, pagecommand={\thispagestyle{plain}}, scale=0.85, noautoscale=true]{chapters/chap2/paper.pdf}

2) If I do the figures and include the two tables in the right page order and stop there, it works as well:

Code: Select all

\includepdf[pages=-, addtolist={2,figure,Location Figure,fig:2.1[,3,figure,Space-time Evolution of Mw $\ge$ 5.0 Earthquakes on Discovery,fig:2.2[,4,figure,Bathymetry of the Discovery Transform Fault,fig:2.3[,7,figure,Example of a Relative Relocation,fig:2.4[,7,table,Hydroacoustic Events Used in the Relocation of the 1998 Mw 5.5 Event,tab:2.1[,8,table,Estimated Centroid Locations of the 15 Mw $\ge$ 5.4 Repeating Earthquakes,tab:2.2]]]]]}, pagecommand={\thispagestyle{plain}}, scale=0.85, noautoscale=true]{chapters/chap2/paper.pdf}

3) However, there are more figures that occur after page 8. If I try to include these after the two tables in the recursive list (such that all included page entries are in numerical order, and then try to compile the latex, I get an error:

Code: Select all

PDFpages error: missing number.

4) If I try to group all figure entries and all table entries in my recursive addtolist, I get the same error.

5) If I make separate addtolist options, one for tables and one for figures, only the second one works.

Does anyone know how to get addtolist to work with both figure and table entries?

Thank you so much.
Page number in option "addtolist" is not a number.

Nevermind.

I answered my own question.

The recursive list gets quite long, and as such, I was actually missing a comma after one of the brackets. The key was in the error message "Page number in 'addtolist' is not a number."

So the answer is that you keep the pages in numerical order, and you can then mix figure and table types in the addtolist and it works just fine.

Thanks for providing the answer!

Welcome to the forum!

Also from me, thanks for telling us that you found the cause and what it was. It may also help somebody who comes in via google, searching for that error message.

Also good to see that syntax: I used pdfpages, but never with addtolist.
