Hello,
I'm re-creating a PDF from a split-repeated form: each section
of the original document has been split into a separated PDF,
and I'm trying to recombine it. To do so, I patched
\dodoinsertpages so that it is possible to give a start= and
stop= value for the pages (so that you can include, say, the
pages from 4 to 86 only):
\newcounter\currentip
\def\dodoinsertpages[#1][#2][#3]%
{\bgroup
\dontcomplain
\getfiguredimensions[#1]%
\getparameters[\??ip][\c!start=1,\c!stop=\noffigurepages,\c!width=\!!zeropoint,#3]%
\doifinset0{#2}{\null\page}%
% \write16{Should insert from \@@ipstart\space to \@@ipstop}%
\let\currentip\@@ipstart%
\decrement\currentip
\doloop
{\increment\currentip\relax
% \write16{Inserting page \currentip}%
\dofilterpage{#1}\currentip
\doifinset\currentip{#2}{\null\page}%
\ifnum\currentip=\@@ipstop\exitloop \fi
}%
\egroup
Hans may consider adding such a feature to the default
distribution, possibly making it work with the n= option which
is used by the standard stuff ...
Anyway, my problem is that as soon as I get past page 600 or
so, I get hash size exceeded fatal errors. A braindead solution
that allows me to get a few more pages is to patch
\calculateexternalfigure to define less csnames, eg by
commenting
%\setxvalue{\@@efobjectname\c!n}{\number\nofinsertpages}%
and changing
%\xdef\noffigurepages{\number\getvalue{\@@efobjectname\c!n}}%
\xdef\noffigurepages{\number\nofinsertpages}%
but still still is not enough (it's a nearly 1000 pages book).
Ideas on how to solve the problem (MiKTeX does not allow
increasing the hash size)?
