Hello, I'm re-creating a PDF from a split-repeated form: each section of the original document has been split into a separated PDF, and I'm trying to recombine it. To do so, I patched \dodoinsertpages so that it is possible to give a start= and stop= value for the pages (so that you can include, say, the pages from 4 to 86 only): \newcounter\currentip \def\dodoinsertpages[#1][#2][#3]% {\bgroup \dontcomplain \getfiguredimensions[#1]% \getparameters[\??ip][\c!start=1,\c!stop=\noffigurepages,\c!width=\!!zeropoint,#3]% \doifinset0{#2}{\null\page}% % \write16{Should insert from \@@ipstart\space to \@@ipstop}% \let\currentip\@@ipstart% \decrement\currentip \doloop {\increment\currentip\relax % \write16{Inserting page \currentip}% \dofilterpage{#1}\currentip \doifinset\currentip{#2}{\null\page}% \ifnum\currentip=\@@ipstop\exitloop \fi }% \egroup Hans may consider adding such a feature to the default distribution, possibly making it work with the n= option which is used by the standard stuff ... Anyway, my problem is that as soon as I get past page 600 or so, I get hash size exceeded fatal errors. A braindead solution that allows me to get a few more pages is to patch \calculateexternalfigure to define less csnames, eg by commenting %\setxvalue{\@@efobjectname\c!n}{\number\nofinsertpages}% and changing %\xdef\noffigurepages{\number\getvalue{\@@efobjectname\c!n}}% \xdef\noffigurepages{\number\nofinsertpages}% but still still is not enough (it's a nearly 1000 pages book). Ideas on how to solve the problem (MiKTeX does not allow increasing the hash size)? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
