Insert a PDF as an alternative title page #38

Closed bttomio closed 2 years ago

Hi,

Is there a way to insert a PDF as an alternative title page? My university requires a specific PDF file from their platform to be the title page. Converting this file to .tex is not a feasible option.

Thanks a lot for this fantastic package!

Best,

Bruno

Found a solution (PDF file named offdoc.pdf placed in the templates folder):

1) Replaced everything in the file alt-title-page-example.tex with:

\thispagestyle{empty}
\includepdf[pages=-]{templates/offdoc.pdf}

2) Added this to the file templates.tex, under %%%%% ADDING LATEX PACKAGES:

% add for the title page
\usepackage{pdfpages}

Thanks once again for the package, @ulyngs!
