I do not know whether there is such a thing, but if there is, may I add an entry ?<br>
<br>
Background: I have (XeTeX) code which adds bleed and crop marks (strictly speaking, bleed and trim marks) to an existing multipage PDF. The code is stored in a file called "Add bleed + cropmarks.tex". When run, it asks the user for the name of the PDF file
to be used as input, but of course the resulting PDF output file is always called "Add bleed + cropmarks.pdf".<br>
<br>
Request : Would it be possible to enhance XeTeX such one could write (e.g.,) <br>
<blockquote>\XeTeXpdffile = "Hội-An lunch menu with bleed and crop marks"<br>
</blockquote>
before any data has been entered on the MVL, and then have the output file name be taken from \XeTeXpdffile ? If \XeTeXpdffilename were set only
<i>after</i> data had entered the MVL, it would be completely acceptable for the output file name to be taken from \jobname as at present.<br>
<br>
It would (IMHO) be more elegant to make \jobname read/write, but that would introduce an unnecessary deviation from TeX.<br>
