Hi,
Sometimes I need to include a pre-compiled PDF in my main document. Of
course, this can be done simply with the `pdfpages' LaTeX package. If we
want to insert a complete PDF, it would be enough to add:
#+latex: \includepdf[pages=-,noautoscale=true,page-command={\thispagestyle(plain}]{file.pdf}
But the 'problem' arises when we want to add multiple page-commands such
as \label{...} and \index{...} to specific pages of the PDF. It would
have to be done explicitly by putting multiple lines of \includepdf{etc},
which can be a bit monotonous. To simplify that scenario it occurred to
me to write this function:
(my-org/insert-pdfpages PDF &optional PAGE-COMMANDS-ALL PAGE-COMMANDS-PER-PAGE)
PAGE-COMMANDS-ALL is the command that should be applied to all pages;
PAGE-COMMANDS-PER-PAGE must be a list, with the page number and the
commands for that page (a possible improvement could be to allow adding
page ranges...). For example:
#+LaTeX_Header: \usepackage{pdfpages}
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :exports results :results latex
(my-org/insert-pdfpages "file.pdf" "\\thispagestyle{plain}" '((2 "\\label{label1}")
(3 "\\label{label2}\\index{index1}")
(7 "\\label{label3}\\index{index2}")
(12 "\\index{index3}")))
#+end_src
Only tested on GNU/Linux; mupdf-tools is required, to be able to get the
number of pages of the PDF. And the function:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun my-org/insert-pdfpages (pdf &optional page-commands-all page-commands-per-page)
(let ((pdfpages-result))
(setq pdfpages-result
(with-temp-buffer
(let ((counter 0)
(pags-pdf (shell-command-to-string
(format "mutool info %s | grep '^Pages' | cut -d ' ' -f 2"
pdf))))
(dotimes (num (string-to-number pags-pdf))
(insert (concat
"\n\\includepdf[pages={"
(number-to-string
(setf counter (+ counter 1)))
"},"
"noautoscale=true,"
(if page-commands-all
(format "pagecommand={%s}" page-commands-all) "")
"]{"
pdf
"}"))))
(if page-commands-per-page
(mapc (lambda (x)
(let ((pag (number-to-string (car x)))
(str (cadr x)))
(save-excursion
(goto-char (point-min))
(while (re-search-forward (concat "pages={" pag "}") nil t)
(if (re-search-forward "\\(pagecommand={\\)")
(replace-match (concat "\\1" "\\" str ","))
(re-search-forward "\\(\\[\\)" nil t)
(replace-match (concat "\\1" "pagecommand={" "\\" str "},")))))))
page-commands-per-page)
"")
(buffer-string)))
pdfpages-result))
#+end_src
Best regards,
Juan Manuel
