latex - including a landscape pdf

Question

Having no end of trouble including a large landscape pdf in a portrait .tex document (using pdflatex).

When it does show up, only the leftmost end of the pdf shows up, now matter how small i make the scale. And i cant seem to get it to show in landscape mode at all...

Is anything wrong with the code i am using?

\begin{landscape}
\includegraphics[scale=0.1]{Appendix2.pdf}
\end{landscape}

You may want to have a look at the pdfpages package which "simplifies the inclusion of external multi-page PDF documents in LATEX documents".

To include pages as landscape you can use the following:

\usepackage{pdfpages}

\includepdf[landscape=true]{circuit.pdf}

`\includepdf[pages=-,landscape=true]{circuit.pdf}` if the include is more than one page – Echsecutor Mar 17 '20 at 11:00

You can rotate included figures with angle, so for your case something like

\includegraphics[scale=0.1,angle=90]{Appendix2.pdf}

The angle is in degrees; maybe you need to use angle=-90 instead.

As for "when it does show up, only the leftmost end of the pdf shows up", you might have a problem with the bounding box, but this really depends on how you create the file.

I think that was it - when i got it to show the bounding box, i could only see the top left corners.. would fix itself no matter what code i tried. strange. – malangi Mar 26 '10 at 17:59

I found this very interesting. To have landscape, just add angle=-90. \includepdf[pages={1}, angle=-90]{xxxxxx.pdf}, and that is all. Have fun !!!
