How to include a PDF file as an appendix?

[roaldarbol]

Description

I have a thesis where I would like to add a PDF file (a manuscript) as an appendix. However, I am struggling to find a way to do it. I've tried to place the PDF file directly in _quarto.yml under appendix, and I've tried {{< include my.pdf >}} which just completely stalls my system.

Here's a minimal example consisting of three files in the same folder:
_quarto.yml:

project:
  type: book
  output-dir: _book

book:
  title: "mybook"
  author: "Jane Doe"
  date: "5/9/2021"
  chapters:
    - index.qmd
  appendices: 
    - appendix.qmd

format:
  pdf:
    documentclass: scrreprt

---

index.qmd:

Hi there

---

appendix.qmd:

{{< include my.pdf >>}}

where my.pdf points to a PDF in the some folder

Use raw latex or post-processing.

That's the same kind of problem as in (i.e., a LaTeX issue not really a Quarto one):

Thanks, that solved the issue - had completely missed that one! 😃
