This package simplifies the inclusion of external multi-page PDF documents in LaTeX documents. Pages may be freely selected and similar to psnup it is possible to put several logical pages onto each sheet of paper. Furthermore a lot of hypertext features like hyperlinks and article threads are provided. The package supports pdfTeX (pdfLaTeX) and VTeX. With VTeX it is even possible to use this package to insert PostScript files, in addition to PDF files.
A package is a file or collection of files containing extra LaTeX commands and programming which add new styling features or modify those already existing. There are two main file types: class files with .cls extension, and style files with .sty extension. There may be ancillary files as well. When you try to typeset a document which requires a package which is not installed on your system, LaTeX will warn you with an error message that it is missing. You can download updates to packages you already have (both the ones that were installed along with your version of LaTeX as well as ones you added). There is no limit to the number of packages you can have installed on your computer (apart from disk space!), but there is a configurable limit to the number that can be used inside any one LaTeX document at the same time, although it depends on how big each package is. In practice there is no problem in having even a couple of dozen packages active.

Most LaTeX installations come with a large set of pre-installed style packages, so you can use the package manager of the TeX distribution or the one on your system to manage them. See the automatic installation. But many more are available on the net. The main place to look for style packages on the Internet is CTAN. Once you have identified a package you need that is not in your distribution, use the indexes on any CTAN server to find the package you need and the directory where it can be downloaded from. See the manual installation.
What you need to look for is usually two files, one ending in .dtx and the other in .ins. The first is a DOCTeX file, which combines the package program and its documentation in a single file. The second is the installation routine (much smaller). You must always download both files. If the two files are not there, it means one of two things:
Generally, most of the packages are in the latex subdirectory, although other packages (such as BibTeX and font packages) are found in other subdirectories in doc. The documentation directories have the same name of the package (e.g. amsmath), which generally have one or more relevant documents in a variety of formats (dvi, txt, pdf, etc.). The documents generally have the same name as the package, but there are exceptions (for example, the documentation for amsmath is found at latex/amsmath/amsdoc.dvi). If your installation procedure has not installed the documentation, the DVI files can all be downloaded from CTAN. Before using a package, you should read the documentation carefully, especially the subsection usually called "User Interface", which describes the commands the package makes available. You cannot just guess and hope it will work: you have to read it and find out.
I re-installed an older version of MikTex. I can now get the PDF to compile, but when I try to use package pdfpages to insert pdfs into the same document I get the following error: You have requested release '2020-10-01' of LaTex, but only release '2019-10-01' is available. The PDF compiles, but the pages from the other pdf are blank. The log shows the following:
I want to include the documentation for one of my programming projects in mythesis. The documentation is generated by Sphinx, which can generate LaTeXoutput. I compiled that output to PDF, which is relatively easy to include in aseparate LaTeX file with the pdfpages package. Unfortunately, including aseparate PDF file in this manner breaks all the internal and external clickablelinks in the included PDF. The solution is an experimental Java program calledpax. Pax reads the PDF file before it is included and generates a .paxfile. pdfTeX reads the .pax file when it includes the PDF and re-generatesall of the links.
This simple hack shall ofcourse save much of your time of installing nbviewer or miktex, pandoc or LaTex, etc. converter packages. Moreover, actually this hack works in same way, like you try to save an html webpage into PDF format.
I'm trying to do R Markdown for PDF and understand that I need tinytex package or download the Complete version of MikTex. I have done both, but I am unable to create a PDF. I am trying to produce the output for the given RMD code when you open your first RMD window thing. I am VERY new to R. but a fast learner. My colleague is also having the same troubles as I am. here is the error message I get when I knit the code:
Installing the tinytex R package is not sufficient. You will have to install TinyTeX, the LaTeX distribution. If you have already downloaded the R package, run tinytex::install_tinytex() and follow the instructions.

A4 paper: The default paper size for the standard article.cls, on which spie.cls relies, is USA letter paper (8.5 in. by 11 in.). To format for A4 paper, specify the option "a4paper" in the first command in the source file: \documentclass[a4paper]spie.See the section below, DVI to PS, for further information relevant to paper size and PostScript fonts. Back to top Sample SPIE manuscript The text of the following sample manuscript contains a complete description of the specifications of a properly formatted SPIE manuscript, as well as some guidelines for good technical writing.For a sample source file using both LaTeX and BibTeX, download the following:LaTeX source file (Version 3.3, revised January 19, 2008), article.tex (26 KB)Bibliography file, to be used by BibTeX, report.bib (2 KB)EPS image, to be included in the formatted article, mcr3b.eps (14 KB) Once you have the files article.tex, spie.cls, spiebib.bst, report.bib, and mcr3b.eps [plus cite.sty (4.01 or later) and ifthen.sty], you should be able to use LaTeX and BibTeX to make a properly formatted DVI file. To get the reference list (bibliography) and cross-referenced citations, it is necessary to run latex once, then bibtex, and then latex twice. A sample LaTeX session is shown in session.txt. Back to top Examples of the formatted sample manuscriptExamples of the final formatted manuscript obtained using the above style files:Manuscript in PostScript, article.ps (PS, 237 KB) Manuscript in Acrobat PDF, article.pdf (PDF, 128 KB) (PDF reader available from Adobe)Manuscript in Acrobat PDF with new reference formating (spiebib.bst, Vers. 3.31), articlenew.pdf (PDF, 128 KB) (PDF reader available from Adobe)Manuscript in DVI format article.dvi (28 KB), provided here to let you check your DVI viewer. This DVI file is formatted for letter-size paper.The text in these files provides the specifications of a properly formatted SPIE manuscript, as well as some guidelines for good technical writing. Excellent references on technical writing can be found at Technical writing aids. Back to top Reference list formattingThe recommended way to obtain a properly formatted reference list is to use BibTeX. For a brief overview of how to set up the bibliography database file, go to bibtex-overview.html.An example of the formatting obtained with spiebib.bst for an extended reference list follows:Formatted extended reference list in Acrobat PDF, biblist.pdf (PDF, 43 KB), which was obtained using the following two LaTeX files:LaTeX source file, biblist.tex (1 KB)Bibliography file, biblist.bib (5 KB)Reference list with and without BibTeXShould you use BibTeX to generate your reference list? Proper use of the BibTeX style file all but guarantees that the reference list will be correctly formatted. There are several advantages to using BibTeX. It automatically orders the references to match their order of citation in the text, as required for SPIE manuscripts. The report.bib file can be used as a database of your standard set of references, which can be extended and reused to prepare reference lists for other LaTeX documents. The same BIB file will normally work with alternative bibliography style files. Please note the potential for problems when using babel or hyperref mentioned below.In case you decide not to use BibTeX, the following sample source file uses LaTeX and NOT BibTeX:LaTeX source file, article-nobib.tex (27 KB)EPS image, to be included in the formatted article, mcr3b.eps (14 KB)Once you have the files article2.tex, spie.cls, and mcr3b.eps [plus cite.sty (4.01 or later) and ifthen.sty], you should be able to use LaTeX to make a properly formatted DVI file. Remember that you must insert the references in the Reference section at the end of article2.tex. The references should be entered in the order of their citation and properly formatted. To obtain properly cross-referenced citations, it is necessary to run latex twice after any change in the order of the reference listings. Back to top Times Roman fontThe default font in LaTeX is Computer Modern Roman, which is perfectly acceptable for the SPIE Proceedings. If you prefer to create a manuscript in Times Roman font, insert the command\usepackage[]timesright after the \documentclass command. This package affects only the fonts used in the document text; the mathematical symbols remain in Computer Modern. Therefore, it is advisable to use the "-P pdf" option in DVIPS (mentioned below) to include the Type 1 fonts for the CMR mathematical symbols, and the G0 option (G and zero) as explained below. The DVIPS command looks like:dvips filename.dvi -P pdf -G0 Back to top LaTeX books and softwareThe original book by Leslie Lamport, A Document Preparation System - LaTeX (Addison-Wesley) is the standard reference and is very useful as a concise summary of LaTeX usage. To learn about the many capabilities of LaTeX, get the book by Frank Mittelbach et al., The LaTeX Companion (Addison-Wesley). Another book with many good tips is Math into LaTeX by George Graetzer (Birkhaeuser-Springer).LaTeX software is available from a variety of sources and should be easy to find by searching the Web. Because the basic LaTeX packages are open-source, free versions are available for most computer systems. Most LaTeX packages can be downloaded from the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN) web pages ( ). This site provides access to the numerous LaTeX packages, which are designed to meet a wide variety of formatting needs. MikTeX, a complete set of LaTeX programs that run under Microsoft Windows, can be downloaded from CTAN or directly from the MikTeX web site ( ). Commercial LaTeX packages are also available. Back to top Some LaTeX hints LaTeX can be a little tricky. The good news, however, is there is almost always a fix, even though it is sometimes convoluted. The following solutions represent answers to questions that I have received in regard to spie.cls. Bold Greek symbolsThe math package from the American Mathematical Society allows one to easily produce bold math symbols, well beyond what is available in LaTeX. It also provides many useful capabilities for creating elaborate mathematical expressions. You need to load the AMS math package near the top of the LaTeX source file, right after the \documentclass command:\usepackage[]amsmathThen for bold math symbols use \boldsymbol in equations, e.g., $\boldsymbol\pi$yields a bold pi. You can make it easier to use by defining a command:\newcommand\bm[1]\boldsymbol#1and then using it like so $\bm\pi$.Not all math symbols are available in bold. In a pinch, you can use \pmb ("poor man's bold"), which is defined in amsmath. This command approximates a bold character with a superposition of several, slightly displaced unbold characters.If you want a Greek symbol in the article title, it should be both larger and bold. The easiest thing is to load the AMS math package as described above. Then, in the title, use something like:\titleEstimation of \LARGE$\boldsymbol\alpha$ by a Monte Carlo techniqueNote that the command to create the alpha character is enclosed within braces to form a self-contained environment. The use of \LARGE in this example may not be needed when using special font packages to replace the default Computer-Modern-Roman font, such as the times.sty package, because of how the article title is handled in spie.cls. Back to top FootnotesFootnotes are marked by superscript symbols. Only nine symbols are available in LaTeX. If you have more than nine footnotes, you will need to restart the sequence using the command \footnote[1]Your footnote text goes here.. If you don't, LaTeX will provide the error message "Counter too large.," followed by the offending footnote command. Back to top DVIPS - converting DVI files to PostScript filesWhen latex is run, it produces a file with the extension DVI (for Device Independent), which completely encodes the formatted document, with the exception of the image files. A separate application is needed to view or print the document, or to convert the DVI file to a standard document format. The LaTeX application most often used for this purpose is DVIPS, which converts a DVI file to a PostScript (PS) file. The utility DVIPS has numerous options to control various aspects of the PS file that it creates. The defaults depend on how LaTeX is installed on your system. To make sure that these options are set appropriately for your intended use, it is wise to explicitly specify them. To summarize the following sections, it is a good idea to use the DVIPS options "-t letter -P pdf" for letter paper, and "-t a4 -P pdf", for A4 paper. In addition, if you use the times package, append the option list with -G0 (G zero). If you execute DVIPS through a command line, the above options are included at the end of the command. In applications designed for window-based systems, e.g., Windows and the Mac OS, the DVI viewer may be based on DVIPS. In such applications, the DVIPS options can usually be specified. Check with your system administrator or read the manuals for your installation. Paper size and marginsIt is advisable to use the same paper-size option in DVIPS as specified in the \documentclass command in the LaTeX source file.The DVIPS option "-t" specifies paper size. For (USA) letter paper (8.5 in. X 11 in.), use the option "-t letter"; for A4 paper, use "-t a4". With the paper size correctly specified, the margins of your LaTeX document should correctly follow the SPIE specifications. If you need to adjust the position of the text field on the page, change the values of the LaTeX variables \voffset and \hoffset to move the text vertically or horizontally, respectively. For example, to lower the text 9 mm, include the command \addtolength\voffset9mm immediately after the \documentclass command at the beginning of the LaTeX source file.Markus Knauer reported that the following prescription for A4 paper worked better for him:replace the lines in spie.cls, which set the margins for A4 paper, with the following:\DeclareOptiona4paper% \AtEndOfClass% \oddsidemargin -0.56cm % for side margins of 2cm \evensidemargin -0.56cm % for side margins of 2cm \topmargin -0.1cm \typeouta4paper used The same results can be achieved by placing the following commands at the beginning of article.tex: \addtolength\hoffset0.5mm \addtolength\voffset-1mm Back to top Type 1 PostScript Fonts The text in PostScript files that are produced by DVIPS can look awful when converted to PDF and viewed on a computer monitor with Acrobat Reader. The reason is that the PostScript output file may contain Computer Modern Roman fonts that are bit-mapped, instead of "scalable" Type 1 PostScript fonts. The printer output is of high quality, but Acrobat doesn't handle them very well for viewing on a monitor. As an aside, this problem is diminishing with recent versions of Acrobat Reader. 2ff7e9595c
