[Tex/LaTex] PDF inclusion error when using \input or \include

errorsincludeinputpdftex

I have set up a LaTeX file for a book-type document with the following preamble:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{textgreek}                      
\usepackage{gensymb}                        
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhead[LE]{\leftmark}
\fancyhead[RO]{\rightmark}
\usepackage[backend=bibtex8,style=chem-angew,doi=true]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{Bib.bib}
\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage{chemmacros} 
\usepackage{psfrag}
\usepackage[runs=2]{auto-pst-pdf}
\usepackage{chemnum}

Now, when I make a document were everything is included after the preamble, that includes a figure with TMP – tags, all works out fine, the tags are replaced with compound numbers.

\begin{document}
    \cmpd*{Bla}
    \cmpd*{Blab}
    blalba\cite{text} 

    \begin{figure}[h]
        \centering
        \replacecmpd{Bla}
        \replacecmpd{Blab}
        \includegraphics{rxn.eps}
        \caption{\ortho-selective chemistry.}
    \end{figure}
    \printbibliography
\end{document}

If, however I copy all the content of the document into an additional file like this:

\begin{document}
    \input{text}
\end{document}

I get the following error:

pdfTeX error: pdflatex (file ./main-pics.pdf): PDF inclusion:
required page does not exist <1>

Can anyone explain this? The .log file is not really conclusive. The problem does not change when I use \include instead of \input I really don't want to put everything into one file.

edit: I forgot, I am using MacTeX 2015.

I was came across a similar problem to yours, until I started using the package subfile. There is some good documentation here: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Modular_Documents#Subfiles

I found subfile particularly useful since I was working on a multi chapter book, so I needed to have multiple tex files for the different chapters which compile using a main.tex (mother file). The chap1.tex (child file) could then be compiled on its own, and automatically integrated in the main when compiling main.tex.

...just my cents worth....
