How to create a single compilable .tex file for Elsevier:

Implemented successfully with texlive 2022 and 2023 on Cygwin, requires tex utilities latexpand and latexmk (from texlive-collection-binextra)

How to create separate PDFs for a paper, the appendices, and supplementary materials with working cross-references across PDFs, as well as an all-in-one PDF combining all the above:

Instructions.

Bash script and tex-files here: compileThree.7z

These files will not compile "out-of-the-box," they're just intended to get you started.

Implemented successfully with texlive 2022 and 2023 on Cygwin, requires tex utility latexmk (from texlive-collection-binextra)

Using a bash script, pdftk, docto / LibreOffice and to create a single PDF from multiple source files (e.g., Word, LaTeX and existing PDFs) in a reproducible way:

Instructions.

Two examples of bash scripts (tested in WSL), one using docto and one using LibreOffice: pdfScript.7z

Requires a unix shell (e.g., cygwin, WSL 2) and pdftk server 2.02. Examples also use ((docto 1.8 and MS Office) or LibreOffice) and TeXlive 2023 (with latexmk from texlive-collection-binextra. Presumably could work with a Windows batch file or a powershell script.

Update Feb 2025: LibreOffice allows you to export to PDF from the command line, ghostscript can combine PDFs. See instructions for a few comments and links to examples.
