link to pdf in latex export

[Andreas Leha]

Hi all,

I have a question concerning the latex export.

Suppose, I have a pdf, that I want to have a link to in the exported
latex doc, not embedded as graphic:

Example:
#+name: produce_plot
#+begin_src R :exports none :results graphics :file sth.pdf
  plot(1:10)
  plot(1:20)
#+end_src

The following is embedded as graphic, but I'd like to just have a
link to the pdf.

The plots can be found in the additional file
call_produce_plot[ :results graphics :file sth.pdf]()[:results file].

How do I do that?

Best,
Andreas

I don't know about output from babel blocks, but I think you can link
to a normal pdf by providing a description to the link.

Open source is the future. It sets us free.

Hi,

Try customizing org-export-latex-inline-image-extension and leaving 
out "pdf".

Yours,
Christian

On second thought, not a very good solution. It only solves your 
problem if you always want to link to a certain file type (here PDFs) 
and not sometimes inline it as a graphic.

I usually just fix this manually, by evaluating the source once, 
removing the #+RESULT line and adding a description part to the 
resulting link so it is exported as a link hereafter.

Yours,
Christian

Hi Christian,

thanks for your answer.  I am just preparing a patch to automate this
(for my use-case at least)

Cheers,
Andreas
