I understand this but I presume that on the second run it should be already
known. I suspect I am wrong here but why?

I tried to use \write18 without \immediate but it did not work either.
Is there any command opposite immediate?
However the problem is that I need note1.pdf at the moment to attach it.

Should I use some extra auxillary file to store some info?

I cannot find any reference what number 18 in write means. I know that \write
requires a number after.

Thanks again. Victor
