← Overview

Embed a whole PDF file into your document.

How you write it in Obsidian

![[sample.pdf]]

• Same embed syntax as an image, pointing at a .pdf file in your vault.
• Put it alone on its own line.

What Obsitex generates

An \includepdf command (from the pdfpages package). By default all pages are included (pages=-). The exact command is set by the DDS field pdfCmdText.

\includepdf[pages=-]{./pdf/sample.pdf}

On export, the PDF is copied into the pdf/ subfolder and referenced from there.

Tips & pitfalls

• The pdfpages package must be loaded in the preamble — the standard templates already do.
• To include only some pages, adjust the DDS pdfCmdText (e.g. pages={1-3}).
• Two PDFs with the same name in different folders: give the path (![[appendix/survey.pdf]]) so Obsitex knows which one you mean. In the export both are kept apart automatically — the second one gets a short suffix added to its file name, so neither overwrites the other.
