Print a single page multiple times, counting up the page number

Question

I (still :) have a ham-radio logbook, a single a4 page which I fill out manually (so this is just an empty form/a template of sorts). Please see below for the code.

The page number is on the bottom left. I'd like to automatically print this one page multiple times, counting up the page numbers (whenever I need more pages to fill out - ham radio is fun sometimes!).

So basically I'd like to tell TeX "Take this template and print it 10 times, numbering the pages from 13 to 22".

Any ideas would be highly appreciated, as always.

Answer 1

I would use TikZ for this application. It not only gives you access to the \foreach functionality, but also allows for flexible positioning of text on the page. Also, using the \pgfmathprintnumber command you can automatically typeset the page numbers in the format you used (with leading zeros).

Note that you need to run LaTeX twice to get the placement of the page numbers and the title:

An easy way is to use pgffor:

\usepackage{graphicx,type1cm,eso-pic,pgffor}
\makeatletter
    \AddToShipoutPictureBG{
            \setlength{\@tempdimb}{.5\paperwidth}
            \setlength{\@tempdimc}{0.85\paperheight}
            \setlength{\unitlength}{1pt}
            \put(\strip@pt\@tempdimb,\strip@pt\@tempdimc){
            \makebox(0,0){\rotatebox{0}{\textcolor[gray]{.4}
            {\fontsize{2cm}{2cm}\selectfont{Amateurfunk-Log DC1TS}}}}}
    }

            \setlength{\@tempdimc}{0.12\paperheight}

At the moment this is hardcoded for two-digit page numbers, but with a little bit more work you could add the right number of zeros depending on the page number, if you need that functionality.
