Hi
Its in the teTeX distribution that Gerben does. You will
need the docs though. They come as a .dvi file in
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/doc/latex/pdfpages
I couldn't get that to work with TeXShop for some reason.
So I went to my nearest CTAN site (ctan.unsw.edu.au) and went
to
/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/pdfpages
here you find
-r--r--r-- 1 ftpadm users 12470 Oct 1 11:00 dummy-l.pdf
-r--r--r-- 1 ftpadm users 17192 Oct 1 11:00 dummy.pdf
-r--r--r-- 1 ftpadm users 93474 Oct 1 11:00 pdfpages.dtx
-r--r--r-- 1 ftpadm users 1454 Oct 1 11:00 pdfpages.ins
-r--r--r-- 1 ftpadm users 2072 Oct 1 11:00 pic.tex
-r--r--r-- 1 ftpadm users 783 Oct 1 11:00 readme
If you get pdfpages.dtx and pic.tex and run pdflatex over
pdfpages.dtx it will generate the documents in pdf format.
Its pretty easy to use. For example here is a latex file
which I run to put some lectures in two to a page format
for making available to students on the web.
-----------------
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\begin{document}
\includepdf[nup=3D1x2, pages=3D{1-11}]{mit_lec6.pdf}
\end{document}
---------------
This is manipulating a single file, you can also us it to
input lots of separate files.
Its a really useful package.
Michael

It is part of the standard teTeX distribution, I believe (I use=20
TeXShop). Just put usepackage{pdfpages} in your preamble and include=20
pdf files using any number of includepdf{file} statements or something=20=

Well, I had only quoted what I was planning on using for the OsF,
leaving out the rest. But by all means, I'd be glad to receive your
pad.map, as the ones I've seen so far had small inconsistencies with
the Berry names. And since I've only tried my hand once
(unsuccessfully) installing a font for TeX, I'm rather new at that.

Look at pdftops, which comes with xpdf, which is in fink. It has an eps
option, which creates the right boundingbox.

Subject: some trouble with OS X 10.2 and tetex
From: "Hemant Bhargava"
Date: Sat, 19 Oct 2002 09:12:52 -0700
Hello,
I installed OS X 10.2 today, and while all the other applications I
looked at seemed to work, I cannot get TeXShop/tetex to work. When I
open a TeX file in TeXshop, it shows up, but clicking on "LaTeX" only
opens the console window. It does nothing more. I don't even see the
tetex application anywhere on my disk.
So I ran the i-installer, and updated everything (to 9/27/02), but even
after that
if I do "which tetex" it says application not found.
The other strange thing I see is that my terminal prompt starts with
[bf lonyserdsa-6509:~]
What is this lonyserdsa ? I don't recall ever seeing this before ...
Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance. I am
particularly confused about this bf lonyserdsa.

Thanks to Michel BOVANI and Jean pierre VIAL, who solved my problem.
I summarize the solution :
ps2pdf, which is called by ITeXMac or TeXshop, makes only a "page to=20
page" conversion, and the bounding box is lost.
The good tool seems to be the perl script "epstopdf".
With this conversion tool, \includegraphics[height=3D50mm](dessin) (for=20=
example) gives the same result with pdflatex as with altpdflatex.

I have an odd problem: using the epsfig and psfig packages, I can import

I don't mind working in a Darwin terminal window... but I don't know

I do not know if I have understood your problem correctly, but it is=20

You haven't installed 2 versions; you are using 2 different processing
modes. TeXShop uses pdflatex which is pdftex+latex (not tex+latex).
You can ask TeXShop to use TeX+dvips+Ghostscript but that just takes
longer and doesn't always do as good a job (though sometimes it is
the only thing that works, so you need both modes to be available).
pdfTeX requires graphics to be in either: PDF, JPEG, PNG format
(and can handles some TIFFs as well).
To get your .eps graphics into a suitable form, just drag their
icons to the TeXShop icon in the dock. This will use Ghostscript
to render the .eps and save it as .pdf .
Now make sure that your LaTeX code, using \includegraphics ,
does *not* specify the .eps extension. It is redundant and will
stop TeXShop from finding the new .pdf versions.
If you are *not* using \includegraphics, but something else
(such as \epsfig or \psfig, etc.) then that is a mistake that
should be rectified in all of your LaTeX documents.
(Once you have tried and tasted the power and flexibility of all
the options available with \includegraphics, you will not regret
the extra work required for the change-over.)
You later emails indicate that you have discovered that
Acrobat/Reader cannot open a PDF file that is still being built
by a running pdfTeX job. Just wait until the job is finished before
trying to view it, or reload it to see the latest update.
Hope this helps,
