Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ no break page with pdf in appendix and landscape mode

[thibaud74]

Hi,

I'd like to include just a pdf document in the appendix into a chapter on landscape format. When I use includepdf, I get a page break after the chapter title; and when I use includegraphics, I get a page break before the chapter title ???

Here I an example of code with some ideas found from forums, but I don't master them:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[book]
%\usepackage{rotating}
%\usepackage{lscape}
\usepackage{pdflscape}
%\usepackage[landscape]{geometry}

\begin{document}

\appendix

\chapter{My first document, normal mode}

\includepdf[scale=0.8]{document1.pdf}

\begin{landscape}

%\begin{sideways}


%\let\newpagegood\newpage    
%\let\newpage\relax

\chapter{My second document, landscape mode}

%\includepdf[pages={1},fitpaper,rotateoversize,landscape=true,scale=0.8]{document2.pdf}
\includegraphics[scale=0.8]{document2.pdf}
\end{landscape}
%\end{sideways}
\end{document}

Best,
Thibaud.

Both, environment landscape, and includepdf do a clearpage before starting to work. That just is how it is.


Did i understand it right, that you want to have the chapter title rotated as well? Please don't, it is not only ugly, it confuses the reader in a printed work.

Thanks for your answer. No, it's not important that the chapter title would be aligned or not with the table (pdf document). In fact there is a header with the title. However, the title of this table must be in the table of contents, and they can be splited.

Here is the (imperfect) solution that I've just found: to combine landscape and sidewaysfigure with includegraphics and angle.

Code: Select all

\begin{landscape}

\begin{sidewaysfigure}

\chapter{My table}

\includegraphics[scale=0.9, angle=-90]{myTable.pdf}
\end{sidewaysfigure}
\end{landscape}

However, that remains a little problem: the chapter title is in the opposite direction with respect to the page number. But if I write the chapter instruction before the sidewaysfigure, I get this page break. Any ideas ?
