[OS X TeX] Off-topic PS and Terminal questions

[Bruno Voisin]

Thanks William, Ross, this group is really amazing!

I finally went the PDF route. I didn't know the pdfpages package (though 
I remember your mentioning it before in a posting, Ross, but then I 
hadn't paid attention), it works very well, is straightforward to use, 
very powerful, and quite adequately documented.

I just had to write:


\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{pdfpages}

\begin{document}

\includepdf[pages=-]{pap2body}
\includepdf[pages=-]{pap2figa}
\includepdf[pages=-,landscape]{pap2figb}
\includepdf[pages=-]{pap2figc}

\end{document}


and got everything I wanted.

I had mentioned PS before because I didn't know that it was possible to 
perform manipulations on PDF files. Being able to do it from within 
LaTeX, thanks to pdfpages, is really a bonus; it avoids, in particular, 
having to run separate utilities such as psutils, even with the very 
sensible interface provided by Andrew Trevorrow in OzTeX.

Thanks again,

Bruno Voisin
