In order to optimize the generation of thousands of PDF documents, I'm struggling with mylatexformat that will include the main packages.



To structure our work, I've put all the common packages in a file that should be precompiled, and all our client related definitions in another file (in a second step I will also try to precompile some packages and definitions for each client).



But the generated PDF output doesn't include the letterhead background. The PDF also shows a page number whereas I've defined that no page number should be visible. When I'm not working with mylatexformat, this Hello World ! example is working correctly.

                You must add endofdump. Without it mylatexformat will ignore everything in the preamble until begin{document}:



                endofdump
                input{penarch-client}
                input{penarch-hyphenation-dutch}

                begin{document}


                Hello World !


                end{document}
