Including a PDF for dvi output
You can convert the PDF
file to EPS
files. Either you select page by page or depending on the converter this can be done in one conversion pass.
pdftops
(from xpdf
) knows the following options that are useful here:
-f <int>
specifies the first page-l <int>
specifies the last page-eps
converts toEPS
Command line for the second page of test.pdf written to test02.eps
:
pdftops -eps -f 2 -l 2 test.pdf test02.eps
ghostscript
can select pages and write to multiple output
files. Example from above:
gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=epswrite -sOutputFile=test%02d.eps
This writes files test01.eps
, test02.eps
, and test03.eps
. %02d
means,
the page number with at least two digits are written with a leading zero if necessary
(numbers < 10).
Also single pages can selected with ghostscript:
gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=epswrite -dFirstPage=2 -dLastPage=2 -sOutputFile=test02.eps test.pdf
Also -sOutputFile=test%02d.eps
can be used here, %02d
will be replaced by
the page number 02
.

I want to include a multipage-pdf in latex and get
.dvi
output. I know\include{pdfpages}
only works with pdfLaTeX. I can't convert PDF to.eps
since it is multi-page. I want to have.dvi
output with a PDF included. Any way to do that?-
Joseph Wright over 11 yearsWhy do you need
.dvi
output? Why not split the PDF into separate pages and convert each to.eps
format? -
imriss almost 10 yearsI have the same question. I want to embed a the PDF output of a Latex document into another one (with the ability to select the range of pages to be included). Using PDFLatex compiler, it is easy using the 'pdfpages' package. However, now I need to do it with Latex compiler for a document.
