[pdftex] splitting .pdf output into smaller parts

[Reinhard Kotucha]

Hi,
if you want to run pdfpages from the command line, you could try the
following script.

Let's call it includepdf.tex and you then can run it like this:

pdflatex includepdf "[pages={1,3}]{filename.pdf}"

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pdfpages}

\def\doit#1 {\setbox0=\lastbox\par
  \begin{document}
    \includepdf#1
  \end{document}
}
\everypar{\doit}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

The last argument has to be quoted (at least on UNIX systems) and it
shouldn't contain whitespaces.

The output file is named includepdf.pdf.

Regards,
  Reinhard
