Hi there,

I'm wondering what the current state is regarding inclusion of PDFs, and
what the best direction would be. As far as I understand:

- Xournal can annotate PDFs directly or load them as background. In each
case, the page size is set to the PDFs page size. If you change it then
the PDF gets rescaled. Also, this means one PDF per page, obviously.

- Xournal can insert an arbitrary number of images and rescale them.
They get embedded into the xoj.

That get's you only so far if you want to include, say, multiple graphs
into your lecture notes. I can convert PDF to PNG, of course, but that
seems to be moot if Xournal knows how to render PDFs (using poppler),
and besides the unnecessary increase in file size (embedded PNG), this
also makes it difficult to update an xoj with updated graphs.

So, ideally I would like to "include" PDFs as links to the PDF (just
like the annotated PDFs), multiple ones per xoj page. I don't mind
editing an xoj by hand (vim to the rescue...).

Michael
