[texhax] inputting a file with a different documentclass

[Aaron S. Meurer]

Sorry, I just now got around to trying this.  It looks like the pdfpages package mentioned in that page will do what I want (I couldn't figure out how to use the combine package, but it looks like it is too complex for what I need).  But it looks like \includepdf[fitpaper=true]{letter} does the trick.  The only issue is that the letter page is slightly smaller than the other ones, which must be because one of the two documents is not really creating 8.5x11 in. pages like it should be (although Skim reports both as being 8.3x11.7 in., so I don't know).  But it isn't too important.

Also, sorry for asking a FAQ question.  I tried Googleing it first, but perhaps due to the nature of the question, I couldn't find the answer.
