Re: OT: post-process postscript or PDF document to add page numbering and footer
Maybe a clumsy work around but couldn't one do this in LyX? Splitting up the original pdf into single pages (I use CombinePDF) and setting those pages as background images in your LyX document? Could you then add header, footer, pagenumbers on top of the page images? Z On 6.09.08, Jeremy C.

Re: OT: post-process postscript or PDF document to add page numbering and footer
This may not be the slickest way, but I think you can do it all right in Lyx
(or just latex) with pdfpages
in the preamble...
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\includepdfset{pagecommand={\thispagestyle{fancy}}}
in the document...
define what you want in the headers in ERT with \lhead{} etc.
\includepdf[pages=-]{filename.pdf}
This will work. Thanks for giving me a hint. I was able to do some simple
tests using fancydhr and pdfpages packages to do what I want. Now I just
need to tune the placement of the PDF content and the headers/footers
(including rules). I used LyX for my tests, but since I won't be doing any
content writing or maintenance, I will probably just do in a very short
LaTeX file in vi and use pdflatex.
Thanks again!

OT: post-process postscript or PDF document to add page numbering and footer
Off topic: I am looking for a solution to add running page numbering to a postscript or PDF document and maybe add a footer or header (maybe with a horizontal rule). Any tools or suggestions would be appreciated. Or if you know of a good forum or mailing list to discuss this, please let me know. Thanks! The original roff documents use various different roff macros all in one book compilation -- the page numbering keeps resetting because they are using different macros. Post-processing the PDF or postscript seems to be easier than converting the many documents to one macro style or to LyX or LaTeX (especially since they continue to be maintained in their original formats).
