I'm currently finishing off my dissertation, and would like to be able to include some documents within my LaTeX document.

The files I'd like to include are weekly reports done in LaTeX to my supervisor. Obviously all documents are page numbered seperately. I would like them to be included in the final document.

I could concatenate all the final PDFs using GhostScript or some other tool, but I would like to have consistent numbering throughout the document.

I have tried including the LaTeX from each document in the main document, but the preamble etc causes problems and the small title I have in each report takes a whole page...

In summary, I'm looking for a way of including a number of 1 or 2 page self-complete LaTeX files in a large report, keeping their original layouts, but changing the page numbering.
