I am layouting a program book (using book class and multicols{2}). I have a number of ads from sponsors that are not related to the text. They are pdfs. I need to bind them in at fix places (irregular) on specific pages covering 1/2 page or 1 page (pagewidth, not textwidth).

I am having a hard time to achieve this. I tried figure[!b], [H], or [!h], and also minipage[b].

With the figure environment, the figures never stay at the same place, cover the text or each other.

With the minipage environment I seem not to be able to place them at the very bottom of the page and in whole page width, only in textwidth...

Any help is appreciated!

  • The flowfram package is mostly used to lay out newsletters. One can also use an \afterpage loop to wait for a specific page. See http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/285146/wrapping-images-on-different-pages – John Kormylo Feb 17 '16 at 15:32
  • Have a look at this: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/30985/displaying-a-wide-figure-in-a-two-column-document – Augustin Feb 17 '16 at 16:43
  • You want an image in bottom of page: 1) by page you mean text or paper? 2) what about the height of image and the text height ? – touhami Feb 17 '16 at 17:43

    @Markus please use @name with no space you'll get autocomplete. – touhami Feb 17 '16 at 22:04
  • @touhami: 1) page, yes I mean paper. It is an A4 paper, and the sponsor's ad is a landscape A5 format, so it is exactly 1/2 of the paper. This is then not at disposition anymore for the floating text. – Markus Feb 17 '16 at 22:10
  • @Augustin: This is the text width, but I need the whole paper. – Markus Feb 17 '16 at 22:10
  • @JohnKormylo: The accepted answer in your link doesn't work when I compile it: Instead of graphics on page 2,4, and 7, they are on page 8,9, and 10, at the end of all text. – Markus Feb 17 '16 at 22:11
  • The accepted answer from http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/285146/wrapping-images-on-different-pages should only be 9 pages long. The original mwe behaves as you described. – John Kormylo Feb 17 '16 at 22:31
  • @JohnKormylo: If I add a scaling option to the includegraphics line: \onpage{2}{% \begin{figure}[t] \centering \noindent\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{UP2016.pdf} \end{figure}}%, then I get the images at the right place, however again across the text width and not across paper width. How can I make them fille the ENTIRE lower 50% of a paper, without keeping a empty margin around? – Markus Feb 17 '16 at 22:41
  • You can make figures exceed the text area (using lots of negative \hspace and \vspace), but flowfram is better suited for that sort of layout. – John Kormylo Feb 17 '16 at 23:01
