Thanks -- but this is still not really what I'm looking for, since --
as far as I know -- minipages can not span pages? What I am looking
for is a functionality similar to the standard letter class. The
purpose is to create an exam (which spans some 15--20 pages) in
several copies with a unique code (counter) on each copy.

However, I have solved this with a little perl program that creates
multiple copies of the source TeX file, compiles them and sends them
to the printer. I found that this approach is a major advantage over a
huge PDF, since separate print jobs makes it possible to use the
automatic stapling functions of the printer. Saves a lot of work!

Anyway, thank you for all suggestions!
