Install Package on Overleaf

Post by Fabskiing »

Dear all,

I'm new to LaTeX, I tried to learn from scratch. I'm using a template on overleaf for my master report. So far so good for now.

However, I'm using a document class with two columns for a scientific-like display.
I just would like to add a "normal" front page with just Master Report and stuff on it, no columns. I've read that you cannot change document class. People talked about using the pdfpages package.

My problem is: I have no idea how to install or add a package on Overleaf.

I tried

Code: Select all

\usepackage{pdfpages} 
...
\includepdf[pages=-,scale=.8,pagecommand={}]{FrontPage.pdf}
And I have the following error:

Code: Select all

Undefined control sequence.
\@outputdblcol ...}}\@combinedblfloats \@setmarks 
                                                  \@outputpage \begingroup \...
l.16 ...=-,scale=.8,pagecommand={}]{FrontPage.pdf}
Thanks for helping me adding this package to my overleaf project.

The fault lies somewhere else, please post a compilable minimal example alog with a link to the template.


By the way, starting from scratch is a great idea, i recommend LaTeX for complete novices. On the other hand, using templates often get people in trouble, because templates often do strange stuff.

Edit: Crosspost
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.
