In my document I want to include a few published pdf files. I have accomplished this with \chapter{File 1} \copypages[file1.pdf][scale=800] % 20 pages \chapter{File 2} \copypages[file1.pdf][scale=650] % 16 pages However, the included pages obey the layout of the rest of the document, and even if the paper in my document could allow a larger scale, I cannot use it since some part of the included file falls off the page. Is it possible to include pdf files and allow each page to use the entire page (possibly with room left for a page number)? I have tried several versions including using makeup (but that is only one page?), pagefigure (also only one page at a time).

Try without any value for scale, that is just \copypages[file1.pdf].

See below.

Basically you need to find out the number of pages of the file and then recursively include them one by one. Recently, I wanted to print a collection of papers as a single pdf, with its own table of contents etc. The trouble was that some of the papers were printed on A4 paper and some were on letter paper. So, I modified the copypages macro to suit my needs. There is very little configuration options for the macro, it behaves the way I wanted it to. Maybe, you can modify it to your needs. \unprotect %D Usage \copyfullpages[filename.pdf] \def\copyfullpages {\dodoubleempty\docopyfullpages} \def\docopyfullpages[#1][#2]% {\bgroup \getfiguredimensions[#1]% \getparameters[\??ip] [\c!n=\noffigurepages, \c!marking=\v!off, \c!scale=\!!thousand, \c!offset=\!!zeropoint, #2]% \dorecurse\@@ipn {\startTEXpage[\c!width=\paperwidth,\c!height=\paperheight,\c!offset=\@@ipoffset] \externalfigure [#1] [\c!page=\recurselevel,\c!width=\paperwidth,\c!height=\paperheight,\c!factor=\v!max,#2] \stopTEXpage \incrementnumber[page]} \egroup} \protect For page numbers, I had a separate layer, which printed on top of the included pdfs (some pdfs were scanned images). I can send you my module if you want. Aditya
Thank you, now I have something to play with! And yes, please, I would
very much like to look at you module.
