[Tex/LaTex] Error using pdfpages and lualatex

atbegshiluatexpdfpagestexlive-2016

After upgrading to Tex Live 2016/Debian i get errors when using the package pdfpages and compiling with Lualatex. If i try to compile

\documentclass[a4paper,portrait]{article}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\usepackage{pgffor}
\includepdf{document.pdf}

i get the errors

! Undefined control sequence.
\AtBegShi@horigin ->\pdfhorigin
! Missing number, treated as zero.
<to be read again> 
\relax 

! Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted).
<to be read again> 
\relax

! Undefined control sequence.
\AtBegShi@vorigin ->\pdfvorigin

(these are not the complete error messages, just the parts i think are important)

I get no errors compiling with pdflatex.

The versions i'm using are

Package: pdfpages 2016/04/19 v0.5f
pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.17
LuaTeX, Version 0.95.0

Is this some sort of bug, or has something changed in the way pdfpages should be used?

Best Answer

LuaTeX has changed quite a lot this year. Among other things the LuaTeX developers removed a lot of known (pdf)primitives from pdfTeX. Thus several packages that make use of these primitives need to be updated.

Alternatively you can add the luatex85 package, which will reintroduce thise "missing" primitives.

Your problem has nothing to do with pgfpages; you are using \MakeUppercase in the wrong way: \MakeUppercase receives a mandatory argument. If you want to use \MakeUppercase for the chapter titles, then you can use the explicit option for titlesec which gives you access to the title through a parameter that can be used as the argument for \MakeUppercase:

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{report}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage[left=2.00cm, right=2.00cm, top=2.00cm, bottom=2.00cm]{geometry}
\usepackage[toc, page]{appendix}

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{subcaption}

\usepackage[ampersand]{easylist}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage[parfill]{parskip}
\usepackage[ampersand]{easylist}

\usepackage{enumitem}
\setlist{nolistsep}

\usepackage{array}% http://ctan.org/pkg/array
\setlength{\extrarowheight}{3pt}

\usepackage[explicit]{titlesec}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand\chapter{\par%
  \thispagestyle{plain}%
  \global\@topnum\z@
  \@afterindentfalse
  \secdef\@chapter\@schapter}
\makeatother

\titleformat{\chapter}
{\normalfont\LARGE\bfseries}{\thechapter}{1em}{\MakeUppercase{#1}}
\titlespacing{\chapter}{0pt}{10pt}{5pt}
\titlespacing{\section}{0pt}{0pt}{-3pt}
\titlespacing{\subsection}{0pt}{0pt}{-3pt}

\usepackage[style=ieee,backend=biber]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{refs.bib}   
\addbibresource{refs2.bib}
\graphicspath{{./img/}}

\usepackage{pdfpages}

\begin{document}
    \chapter{hi}
\end{document}

By the way, instead of using upper case for the titles, I'd suggest you to use small caps instead; if you are forced to use upper case, please consider \MakeTextUppercase from the textcase package which won't use upper case for special charcaters (math, labels, etc.).

[Tex/LaTex] using LaTeX pdfpages and geometry packages together

The image logo.png is much too large for the header, from the .log file:

Package Fancyhdr Warning: \headheight is too small (12.0pt): 
 Make it at least 56.17505pt.
 We now make it that large for the rest of the document.
 This may cause the page layout to be inconsistent, however.

Also package geometry throws a warnings:

Package geometry Warning: Over-specification in `h'-direction.
    `width' (597.50787pt) is ignored.

Package geometry Warning: Over-specification in `v'-direction.
    `height' (845.04684pt) is ignored.

Removing option scale and adding headheight fixes these issues:

\usepackage[a4paper, twoside,
            hmargin={3.3cm, 2.7cm},
            vmargin={2cm, 4.5cm},
            headheight=56.17505pt,
            headsep=0.5cm]{geometry}

The warning

pdfTeX warning (ext4): destination with the same identifier
(name{page.1}) has been already used, duplicate ignored

can be avoided by disabling page anchors for the title page:

\begin{document}
\hypersetup{pageanchor=false}
...
\maketitle
\hypersetup{pageanchor=true}
