Hi Martin,

Let's get back to the facts: I can easily include 10000 different pdfs on one page (and claim that the number of files is only limited by memory) -- when \pdfximage is \immediate (which is normally is not). This works on Linux. Does this not work on Windows?

\documentclass[pdftex,a5paper]{book} \usepackage[papersize={8.5in,11in}]{geometry} \usepackage{pdfpages} % \let\mypdfximage\pdfximage \def\pdfximage{\immediate\mypdfximage} % \begin{document} \newcount\i \i=2 \loop \ifnum\i<3000 \includepdf[pages={-}]{\number\i.pdf}% \advance\i by1 \repeat \end{document} works also on Windows. The "immediate" version does not depend on the limitation on the number of open files. Thanks, Akira
