dcpurton / pdfoverlay Goto Github PK

First of all, thank you for this great package. I'm having a problem setting the pdf background using a variable name.

I pretend to do something like this.

\newcommand*{\name}{FCNM}
\usepackage{pdfoverlay}
\pdfoverlaySetPDF{\name.pdf}

Of course, this must look ridiculous to you, but I'm just a LaTeX user, not a programmer.

I would really appreciate your help.
PD: Sorry if this is not the right place to write my doubts.

Best!

Hi, could you add your packages to latex3/l3kernel/doc/l3prefixes.csv.
Here's a link:

https://github.com/latex3/latex3/blob/master/l3kernel/doc/l3prefixes.csv

That file is for contact info, but also to keep track of the registered prefixes in packages to avoid that two packages use the same prefix and clash.

Thank you so much for creating pdfoverlay they're great :)

Thank you for providing this package. I'm using the latest version (v1.2).

Given the following .tex file, it generates the .pdf correctly, but at the end of the compilation it shows the following errors:

   1 \documentclass{article}
   2 \usepackage{pdfoverlay}
   3
-  4 \pdfoverlaySetPDF{capitolo1.pdf}
   5
   6 \begin{document}
   7 Annotation on page 1.
   8 \pdfoverlayIncludeToPage{10}
   9 Annotation on page 10.
  10 \pdfoverlayIncludeToLastPage
  11 \end{document}

Is there anything I can do to suppress that error?

Hi,
'pdfoverlay' uses the 'everypage' style, which provides functionality that since the Fall 2020 edition of LaTeX has been implemented in LaTeX itself. 'everypage' tries now to deliver its original behaviour, using the new LaTeX functionality, but the emulation is not strictly equivalent.
Indeed, for a pdf document I have been using, 'pdfoverlay' generated a pdf with an initial blank page, and all overlays were off by one page.

A temporary fix is to use 'everypage-1x' instead of 'everypage', since it provides exactly the old behaviour of 'everypage'. But this may break for future releases of LaTeX, according to the maintainer of everypage.sty.

It would be great if you could update pdfoverlay.sty so that it works correctly also for future releases of LaTeX.

Thanks,
Diego
