[Tex/LaTex] How to merge two files : djvu and PDF

djvupdf

I have two files one f1.pdf and other is f2.djvu. I want to join them and the output file will be pdf. Already I have tried to do this by the following command. But these are not working. Is there any way to do so ?

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\begin{document}

\includepdfmerge{f1.pdf,1}
\includepdfmerge{f2.djvu,1-553}

\end{document}

I'd suggest you do this outside of LaTeX proper. Use ImageMagick (or really any image manipulation library you can think of) and then simply include the resulting PDF.

Unless there's a particular reason to do this on the fly, as it were ... ?

LaTeX

use Herbert's answer: the pdfpages package

\documentclass{article}% or something else
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\begin{document}
\includepdf[pages=-]{paper1}
\includepdf[pages=-]{paper2}

\end{document}

You could also keep the document page sizes by adding a option:

\includepdf[pages=-,fitpaper]{paper1}
\includepdf[pages=-,fitpaper]{paper2}

And not to repeat yourself use this:

\includepdfset{pages=-,fitpaper}
\includepdf{paper1}
\includepdf{paper2}
\includepdf{paper3}
\includepdf[fitpaper=false]{paper4} // you can add document specific options
\includepdf{paper5}
\includepdf{paper6}
\includepdfset{} // to put default values back

LaTeX – How to Create a Table of Contents for Merged PDF Files Using LaTeX

The entries in the "table of contents page [which is] being displayed in the sidebar of a pdf reader" are called PDF bookmarks in Adobe Acrobat. The hyperref and bookmark packages provide functionality to place own bookmarks into your PDF.

You should go for the bookmark package (which loads hyperref internally). It allows you to place links from the sidebar to specific pages of the current (or even an external) PDF with specific page, view port and zoom levels. You would need to collect the pages (and maybe zoom settings) for each (sub-)section by yourself if you don't have the LaTeX source of them.

An example for an bookmark entry which should appear in a certain hierarchy level and point to a certain page with a certain height (FitH) is:

\bookmark[level=<num>,page=<num>,view={FitH 842}]{<title>}

(See also the similar questions if you want to place links inside the document:
PDF hyperlinks to a given page.
