How to import PDF document to Pages

I am attempting to import a LaTex created PDF book into Pages so I can add and introduction, etc.. to the book and further refine some of the paging and print style.  This used to be possible in AppleWorks but seems to be missing in pages and now requires all editing to be done by purchasing full Adobe Acrobat which is extremely costly for a non corporate user.  I have also attempted to use several applications that purport to be able to edit PDF Doc direct but NONE of them, so far, retain the original paging information therefore rendering them USELESS for any practical use.
Does anyone know of a widget/etc that can be added to Pages that would open the document as a Pages document while retaining ALL paging information?

I would dearly like to be able to fix LaTex to output a Pages document but that is waaayayyayayay beyond my capabilities and I doubt the developers of LaTex would even want to try so that is totally out of the question.  The next possibility would be to develop some kind of macro script that would do the same thing but again that is beyond my capabilities.
I just check DataViz and they show an old MacLinks that seems to be able to convert PDF to CWK (WP) file.  I also remember one from my OLD Apple IIGS (1992) days that had the same capability but that could not be proted to the Mac and I used it quite a lot somewhat later after I started genealogical research for downloading page files.
Thanks to all who answered and we may as well call this one unsolvable.

  • How to import PDF image into Pages manuscript that is larger than the text bed margins

    How do I import a PDF image into a Pages book manuscript, whose dimensions are larger than the global text bed margins? Any imported PDF image is automatically shrunk to fit within the text bed. I know I can set up a single page with wider margins and a text bed within it, but I want the image to import to a page already within the manuscript sequence, where the text bed margins are set and constant.

    By default it should be dragging in as a floating image and not part of the text.
    What version of Pages are you using?
    In Pages 5 this is:
    Format > Arrange > Object Placement > Stay on Page > Size > Original size

  • How to create a  PDF document with page curls using Adobe  CS 4?

    My  goal is to create a  PDF document with page curls. I am using Adobe  CS 4.
    1.      The document was created in Adobe InDesign  CS 4  where the page  turn (curl) transition  was applied.
    2.      Then the document was exported to .swf.
    3.     The .swf file was imported into   Adobe Acrobat Pro  to create a PDF file with  flip page or page curl transitions.
    These are the problems.
    1.      The background is not  transparent.
    2.      Page dimensions have to be increased at least an inch in width and length so that the full page can show
    3.      The command and+   will not only increases the document's  screen size. It increases the page margins.

    PDF was never designed to support the Flash page curl effect (it didn't exist back then). Anything you try (and you've tried the standard hack) will look like a hack. Personally, I don't think the effort is worth it for an effect that's much overused.

  • New document alert: How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS

    Opening PDF Files in Reader for iOS (iPhone and iPad) has been very helpful to many users of Adobe Reader for iOS.  However, Apple has drastically changed the user interface in iOS 7, which made the original document obsolete. 
    According to Apple Developer Support's App Store Distribution page, 89% of devices connected to the App Store are using iOS 7 during a 7‑day period ending June 29, 2014.
    Because of the exceptionally high iOS 7 adoption rate, Adobe Reader for iOS version 11.3 now supports iOS 7 only.
    Here are the new How-To documents for iOS 7.

    How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS (iPhone on iOS 7 version)
    (It had to be split into two separate documents because each contains way too many screenshots.)
    Hope these documents are as helpful as the original one.
    Please let us know if you have any feedback or suggestions on the topics for other help documents/tutorials.

    Dennis (or any Adobe rep),
    Any updates to the OP's question? I'm with a large government agency, and we're moving away from GoodReader for reasons I can't go into here, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks within the app is a mandatory feature for the document reader we select. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.6.1) installed on my government iPad, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks still seems to be missing. Does Adobe have any plans to add this feature, or is it already present and I'm simply overlooking it?
    Thanks,
    Cam

    I need to display the contents of PDF document after the form letter report. I tried OLE object but at the runtime it does not display the content. Does any one knows how to attach PDF document in reports layout?
    Thanks
    Ravindra

    you will have to concatinate your report output with the static PDF document. in reprots 10g you can create a cusotm destination that could implement this functionality.
    out of the box, reports does not provide the ability to add static content in PDF to reports' generated PDF output.

    Lily,
    I observe that you have declared lv_xml_data as TYPE xstring & string and get_data method probably expects data of xstring type.
    Have a look at the "Extract the Data" section from following [article.|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/c2567f2b-0b01-0010-b7b5-977cbf80665d&overridelayout=true]
