[XeTeX] \XeTeXpicfile and PDF Resolution

[Atip Asvanund]

Hello,

I just tried the suggestion: \XeTexpdffile.

The PDF file is now placed at its perfect resolution, which is great!

However, all the pages following the image are trashed with black boxes
and triangles every where. I actually tried this in a few Latex files to
the same effect. Is anyone else having this problem?

Thank you,

Atip

Negative numbers can be used to indicate pages relative to the end of the file; thus |page -2| means the second to last page. The |page| option, if used, must be specified as the {\it first} keyword after the filename, before any transformations."
