Description pagalmes.lists 2005-09-17 10:45:42 UTC 
Hello,

When writing reports, the user may need to add an appendix. This appendix could
be for example a pdf document already written. For now, inserting such a file in
a report is not possible. So the user has to print the report, and then the
appendix.

It would be nice, if by a mean or another, we could create a document which is
composed of documents in various formats.

An idea could be the use of a master document, in wich we select a pdf file.
While editing, the pdf would not be displayed, but when printing all documents,
including the pdf would be printed.

I think that I already saw a similar issue to allow users to insert PDF in read
only mode.

Assuming that you create a PDF from your report (odt or odm), you can use a 
Makefile in your document directory. It should have this rule:

report_with_appendixes.pdf: report_without_appendixes.pdf appendix1.pdf 
appendix2.pdf # ...
	gs -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOUTPUTFILE=$@ -dBATCH $^


then just execute make in that directory and you will get 
report_with_appendixes.pdf.

A hybrid format document is not possible.
