Hi Thomas, I am preparing notes for my lectures and I would like to include some online news articles (such as NY times) that I save as PDF, in my notes (these notes are for me). When I save these online articles as pdf, I often get a small left margin and big right margin (just as in includethis.pdf; I deliberately made it similar to these news articles).
I will try to do this using lua loop. I should learn it. I am learning so many new things currently that I have not had a chance to learn Lua. I was wondering if Aditya's filter module could be used to use Python instead of Lua, but I suppose I should ask that as a new question. Thanks for your help.
