Including pdf document as appendix
I am trying to create a manual which contains pdf documents at the end in
appendices. Most of the pdf's are government regulations/laws and guidance notes. Therefore, I would like them to retain their orignal formatting so readers of the manual know that they are reading the original law, regulation, etc. However, I would also like the page numbers in the table of contents of the manual to reflect the correct location of each pdf file in the manual. Is there a way to do this? I've thought of a couple of ways around this: 1. Create Appendix Titles only and link the pdf file in as an object. Problems: Page numbers wouldn't be updated because word won't know how many pages are in the pdf file. Also, it means that to print the entire manual it will be necessary to separately print each pdf file and then manually insert into the appropriate section of the manual. 2. Copy each page of the pdf file as an object into the manual. This will solve the page number problem, but the size of the file after all the pdf pages are linked will be huge. Thanks for any help that you may be able to provide!! |

Thanks. But I don't believe the Word table of contents will include the PDF
appendices unless I manually change the page numbers in the TOC. Am I correct on this, or is there another way of accomplishing my task? The problem is that this is going to be a constantly changing document, as updates and amendments are being made. So if I have to recreate the TOC every time, manually change the page numbers of the Appendices, and then import the word document to PDF, it will become a fairly tedious procedure.
