Is there any easy way to insert some text at a given page number? I could manually trace the page and write something there, but looking for a geeky solution. I am not worried about the position of the text, just accessing the page would work.
\documentclass{article} \usepackage{lipsum} \begin{document} \lipsum[1-50] %%%%%%%% Write `Some garbage text` at page 3 \end{document} If you just want to place some text at some random location on page 3, here's an option using eso-pic:
\documentclass{article} \usepackage{lipsum} \usepackage{eso-pic} \AddToShipoutPictureFG{% Place something in the page ForeGround... \AtTextUpperLeft{% ...at the text block upper left corner... \ifnum\value{page}=3 % ...only on page 3... \makebox[\textwidth]{% ...in the horizontal centre of the text block... \raisebox{\dimexpr-.5\height-.5\textheight}{% ...at the vertical centre of the text block \Huge RaNDoM TeXT }% }% \fi }% } \begin{document} \sloppy\lipsum[1-50] \end{document}
