Information and discussion about page layout specific issues (e.g. header and footer lines, page formats, page numbers).

I regularly need to compile a complex document (meeting papers) which includes editable text from a certain well-known word processing package and multiple scanned pdf files of physical letters (they are pdf images).
The hard part is to put all this together and reference the included pdf pages with cross-references and / or table of contents.
Have been doing this under (word processing package) and then transforming all editable pages into pdf and assembling under Acrobat. But this is a nightmare from the page-reference point of view: that is, hand-made table of contents and cross-references. There are numerous additions and edits that need to be done as the scheduled meeting draws near, and lots of opportunities for error on the page references.
I have done trials of the assembling process under LaTex with some success. But am uncertain whether there is a way to \includepdf and generate a cross-reference to the page number of such a page (that is, the included pdf doc). Is it possible? Probably need Table of Contents *and* cross-references.
