pdfpages strips off Acrobat additions?

[Alan Munn]

Hi,

I'm using pdfpges to arrange individual pdf files. The files have been
modified using Acrobat's markup tool and saved as PDF v1.4 When I put
the files together with \includepdf it seems to strip off those
additions.

Here's a sample file, and a link to one of the actual pdf files in
question.

\documentclass[landscape]{article}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\begin{document}
\includepdf{1-1A-size-5162.pdf}
\end{document}

The actual pdf file is here:

<http://www.msu.edu/~amunn/latex/1-1A-size-5162.pdf>

If you examine this file, one of the images has a red circle around it.
When the above document is created, the red circle disappears.

Is there any way to avoid this?

Thanks

Alan

both Adobe Reader and Apple's Preview.

Yes, pdf inclusion in pdfTeX stripps off many things like bookmarks or
annotations.

There is an experimental project `pax' that reinserts some of them.
CTAN:install/macros/latex/contrib/pax.tds.zip

Thanks, Heiko. Unfortunately it doesn't yet support the particular
annotations I seem to be using. (I don't actually know what the Pop-up
annotation is, since I certainly didn't add one deliberately; the Circle
annotation is what I used.)

It's a shame, because I've been using pdfpages to create stimulus files
for experiments, (randomized lists of single page included pdfs) and
often use the annotation feature of Acrobat. I have other workarounds,
though. Do you envision adding further support for other annotations in
the future?
