I need to include several documents in a single paginated file. Treating the source file (.tex) of each document as a component file in a .prd file is one way to go. But I was wondering if it might be possible to do get the same result using the .pdf files of each document instead. \copypages is promising: it includes the. pdf files and the counter in the resultant .prd file is correct. But what I still have to get is the page number on all pages of the included .pdf files except the first page in each. I looked at \startpagefigure but that would be a very cumbersome way to go since there over 350 pages to include, given that it handles only one page at a time. I hope that this makes sense. Any suggestions or pointers will be most welcome. Alan
