For my M.S. I just looked up the relevant PDF merge utility for Linux online. I can't even remember what it was now, but it took the first x pages from the unsigned thesis, intercollated the signed signing page, and then took the remaining pages from the unsigned thesis, and output a single PDF.
Edit: .zsh_history had it:
> pdftk A=thesis.pdf B=approval.pdf cat A1-5 B1 A7-end output signed_thesis.pdf
- heyoni 3y agoHow have you never cleared out your history? Or do you rarely use your terminal? /edit not cleared but filled up so that it gets rotated out
- stevekemp 3y agoNot the parent, but I always tried to keep an "infinite" bash shell history, on each of my machines. Nowadays I run a mac at work, and I use "atuin" which stores zsh history in an SQLite database. No fear of losing anything, and it really can save you in a lot of ways.
- sitkack 3y agoHave you thought of recording everything with space ASCII cinema?
- cinntaile 3y agoThis doesn't really work as intended when I tried to do something similar. Pdftk produces pdfs that were much bigger than the ones generated by LaTeX and you might end up outside of the allowed size range.
