Hi, Is it possible to embed another PDF file (ie render it contents at a particular coordinate) in a document generated by CL-PDF? Thanks, Tamas _______________________________________________ cl-pdf-devel site list cl-pdf-devel@... http://common-lisp.net/mailman/listinfo/cl-pdf-devel

You can embed any file as a binary object and specify the corresponding MIME type for it. I am not sure about the way a typical PDF viewer will render such an embedded PDF file. In all probability, the viewer will open it in another window. OTOH, you could parse the emended file and include its contents as you wanted. -- Sincerely, Dmitriy Ivanov lisp.ystok.ru _______________________________________________ cl-pdf-devel site list cl-pdf-devel@... http://common-lisp.net/mailman/listinfo/cl-pdf-devel

I haven't played with this, but, looking at the cl-pdf source, I see a file name pdf-parser.lisp, containing intriguiing function names like read-pdf and insert-original-page-content. Read through and try out the #|'ed out test section at the bottom of the file. It helps to know a bit about the internal structure of a pdf document. There are also various command-line tools - google for "pdf merge", "pdf tools", "pdf parser", etc. pt _______________________________________________ cl-pdf-devel site list cl-pdf-devel@... http://common-lisp.net/mailman/listinfo/cl-pdf-devel

pdf-templates.lisp has code to print pages extracted from a pdf to some
position/size on a new page. Here is the example from this file:
;;;## Example Usage
;;; Try something like this after loading pdf-template.lisp:
;;;
;;; (pdf:test-template "/tmp/ex7.pdf" 1 "/tmp/template.pdf")
(defun test-template (in-file page-number out-file)
"Create a new PDF with the given file and page number drawn several
times. This test requires pdf-parser to be loaded."
(let* ((old-doc (read-pdf-file in-file))
(old-root (root-page old-doc))
(old-page (aref (pages old-root) page-number))
(old-page-bounds (or (resolve-page-dict-value (content
old-page) "/MediaBox")
*default-template-size*))
(width (svref old-page-bounds 2))
(height (svref old-page-bounds 3)))
(with-document ()
(with-page (:bounds old-page-bounds)
(let ((top-template (make-template-from-page
old-page :scale 2/5 :translate-x (* 3/10 width)
:translate-y (* 3/5 height)))
