I'm using the hyperref package in my document. One of the things that it does is create bookmarks in my pdf, based on the table of contents. Some section titles contain a reference to a citation
\section{Some title \citep{BibTeXkey}}
The label of the bookmark then looks like
Some title BibTeXkey
But I would like it to be
Some title (Author, year)
Just like it is displayed in the text and the table of contents. So only the bookmarks are messed up.
I used the sequence pdflatex, bibtex, pdflatex, pdflatex to compile the document.
How do I change the bookmark label to use the same format as in the table of contents?
Whenever I'm having an issue with the pdf bookmarks not working properly, the solution is usually to use \texorpdfstring. It allows you to make a section title contain some non-text material (like a link or some symbols) and specify what should appear in the pdf bookmark, which cannot contain symbols. The input
\section{The section with \texorpdfstring{LaTeX symbols}{plain text version}}
produces the section title "The section with LaTeX symbols", but the pdf bookmark for the section is "The section with plain text version".
In your case, the easiest thing to do is probably
\section{Some title \texorpdfstring{\citep{BibTeXkey}}{(Author, year)}}
Unfortunately, this means that you have to paste "(Author, year)" in by hand, which is a little annoying, but not a big deal if your bibliography entry doesn't change (which is probably shouldn't) and you don't change your citation conventions.
If you really want to avoid having to type in "(Author, year)" by hand, you can try using the \show command to try to figure out how \citep produces it's output. But I warn you that this approach is not for the faint of heart: in this case, I think you'll end up looking through the aux file, not to mention the blg, brf, and bbl files.

I have a multi-page PDF document, and I want a version of the document with one of the pages in the middle with a scanned-in copy, as I needed a physical signature in the document. How can I do this with ImageMagick? I'm aware that ImageMagick may not necessarily be the best tool for the job. However, the resulting PDF does not need to be high quality or a high fidelity copy, so it should be sufficient for my needs.
As a specific example, I have a 9 page my-file.pdf, and I want to create a copy of the PDF with the 8th page replaced with page-8.png. It looks like I should be able to achieve this goal with the convert tool, though it's not immediately obvious what the syntax would be. How can I achieve this goal?
If I merely wanted to append the new page to the end of the file, I know I can do the following:
convert my-file.pdf page-8.png output-file.pdf
However, this end up with the original pages 1-9, then the new page 8. What I actually want is to replace the original page 8 with the new page 8. My desired output is:
[original pages 1 - 7],[new page 8],[original page 9]
A specific page or range of pages can be specified using the bracket syntax with zero-based indexing. For instance, [8] will refer to the ninth page, and [0-6] to the first seven pages. Using this, a duplicate of the PDF with the 8th page replaced can be achieved as follows:
convert my-file.pdf[0-6] page-8.png my-file.pdf[8] output-file.pdf
As indicated in the question, as well as a comment, Imagemagick is not a great tool for this task, as it rasterizes the output of the PDF. An alternate solution that avoids this would be to use pdftk to replace the page. While the inserted page will still be an image, the replaced pages will not be rasterized.
First, save the scanned-in page as a PDF using an application capable of this. Then, use the pdftk cat operation to combine the PDFs:
pdftk A=my-file.pdf B=page-8.pdf cat A1-7 B A9 output output-file.pdf
I have multiple pdf files without 'toUnicode' cmap table. Absence of cmap table restricts me from copying the text from pdf files.
As far as I know, there is a possibility to add 'toUnicode' mapping in pdf file, but in my case adding static values is not an option, different files have different glyph codes.
So the question is the following. Is there any possibility to restore 'toUnicode' cmap table, perhaps with the help of Ghostscript, or are there any options at all?
Thanks.
No, you cannot add ToUnicode CMaps to an existing PDF file using Ghostscript.
In the general case, you can't do it at all, except manually. As you note in the question, different files will be constructed to use different character code->Glyph mappings, which means that the character code to Unicode mapping will also be different.
Since the character code selection is often based on the order in which glyphs are used in a file (so the fist glyph is character code 1, the second is character code 2 etc) you can see that there is no prospect of identifying a 'one size fits all' solution.
You could use some kind of OCR to scan the rendered output, identify each glyph and find the Unicode code point for it. Then you could construct a CMap by identifying the character code for the glyph and mapping it to the Unicode value.
You could, then, add the ToUnicode CMap to the PDF file, and update the Font Descriptor with the object number of the ToUnicode CMap.
Ghostscript won't do any of that for you, and I haven't heard of any tool which will.
I am referring to this Suppress automatic figure numbering in pdf output with r markdown/knitr
which I don't think was answered fully.
Essentially, I am using knitr::spin and rmarkdown to produce word, pdf and html documents.
For word, there appears to be no numbering when one puts in
+fig.1, fig.cap = "Figure name"
You only get an output Figure name in the caption.
To solve that, I used captioner class.
figs = captioner("Figure")
That works fine for word
But I am not faced with rewriting the script for pdf document as the caption turns up as figure 1: figure 1: The name
I am using knitr::spin to actually generate the RMD document for forward outputs in word and pdf.
I am not sure I can use hooks in knitr::spin, as I have tried it as advertised but can't get it to work.
I also tried
header-includes: \usepackage{caption} \usepackage{float}
\captionsetup[table]{labelformat=empty}
\captionsetup[figure]{labelformat=empty}
as suggested somehere to surpress the prefix for pdf but I get errors from pandoc. It uses pdf2latex.
I am not sure how one would query the output format in knitr::spin to actually produce different actions for different formats which could be a solution although cumbersome.
Thank you so much for your help from a novice.
This may be a stupid question, but I can't figure it out.
I have made some tables in SPSS. Now I want them over to my latex document.
What I do, it that I right-click the table in SPSS, and press export.
Here I can choose between PDF or .doc. BUT the PDF-file created, generates a file with the table on top of a page (A4 size, with "page 1" at the bottom). I do not want this, I only want the table.
example how it turns out:
Example how I want it to turn out:
If I export to word, I can further save as PDF, but same problem occurs.
Screenshot works, but does not give me the same picture-quality that I prefer.
Do anyone of you have any tips for me?
Thanks :)
Unfortunately SPSS does not provide native table export to Latex. It does provide table export to html and xls, which can post-hoc be converted to Tex tables. PDF output for everything forces to export the full page (very annoying for graphics as well) - but you probably don't want to insert the image of the table (you could crop the PDF if need be), but have a Tex table (in the same font) as your document anyway.
One thing I have done in the past to make the export to text tables with specific markup is to use the PRINT or LIST commands to print the text table to the output (or to a text file) that is closer to the end goal. In this NABBLE post I have some syntax that makes pandoc flavored pipe style markdown tables - it should be pretty clear how that same approach could be used for Tex tables (actually Tex tables should be much simpler).
Here is an example of some code using LIST to make a the markup closer to Tex tables.
DATA LIST FREE / Variable (A1) Mean Median (2F4.2).
BEGIN DATA
A 3.25 2.00
B 2.56 2.50
C 9.87 10.20
END DATA.
*Using LIST to make Latex style table.
STRING Mid (A1) End (A2).
COMPUTE Mid = "&".
COMPUTE End = "//".
LIST /VARIABLES = Variable Mid Mean Mid Median End.
And here is a screen shot of the produced output on my machine.
So here I would still have to copy-paste the text output into my Tex document, (and make the header row).
You can also use OMS to save designed items in a variety of formats, including XML and then use an xml-to-Latex tool such as xmltex. You could probably even generate such a conversion with XSLT from the XML.
From the Viewer, you could also retrieve the table with Python scripting and use a Python-based converter tool.
By default, using \cite in the Beamer class of LaTeX places the actual citation information at the end of the presentation on a separate slide containing the bibliography. How does one get the citation information, instead, on the same slide as the citation (the expected, courteous practice for most presentations)?
If you use the biblatex package, you can insert a complete bibliographic entry with the \fullcite command.
To have the citation at the bottom of the same slide, we can use \footfullcite instead of \fullcite.
Complete steps would be:
Include \usepackage{biblatex} and
\bibliography{<your_bib_file>} in your preamble.
Use \footfullcite{paper} in your frame.
I have used the bibentry style for this (part of natbib), which just allows you to write \bibentry{key} which directly expands to the full bibliographic entry.
So here is a minimal (but complete) working example: Assuming .bib file is named as biblio.bib:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[style=verbose]{biblatex}
\bibliography{biblio}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
Some text.\footnote{Some text in a footnote.} Some more text.\footcite{foo12}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
