Include landscape figure pdf into document












0















I have a large figure over 2 pages which I would like to include into my latex file. This figure is an external PDF and in landscape format already. I want to be able to reference the figure in the text via ref, so it needs a label. The code below works fine, but as soon as I use the figure environment, the rotation of the image is wrong (no landscape anymore). I tried an alternative solution via. includegraphics, but the image was always too small (and somehow not centered). Is there any way to do that properly?



documentclass{article}
usepackage{pdfpages}

begin{document}

Figure ref{fig:document} showsldots

begin{figure}[h!]
includepdf[pages=1,landscape=true]{Figure1.pdf} % exemplary landscape figure, 2 pages long
label{fig:document}
end{figure}

end{document}


It doesnt really have to be a figure environment, as I do not use a list of figures. I just need to be able to link to it and reference it. Any hints highly appreciated.



Edit: Please note, in this case, a caption is not necessary. I am basically looking for a method to include a picture that already has a caption. But I want to link it from the text.

  • The figure environment can't span several pages. Therefore you should use the capt-of package (or caption if you already use it for something else) and the captionof{figure}{<caption>} command.

  • @Skillmon ah I see, thanks. So just use captionof{figure}{<caption>}, that's it? Maybe you could make a full example? I don't fully understand how to use the command. It throws errors atm when I am trying.

You could include them in a landscape environment and then use minipages to enforce that the caption is on the same page as the image. This will not lead to full width inclusion though:



documentclass{article}
usepackage{graphicx}
usepackage{caption}
usepackage{pdflscape}

begin{document}

Figure ref{fig:duck1} showsldots

begin{landscape}
noindent
begin{minipage}{linewidth}
centering
includegraphics
[page=1,width=linewidth,height=.95textheight,keepaspectratio]
{example-image-duck}
captionof{figure}{a ducklabel{fig:duck1}}
end{minipage}
begin{minipage}{linewidth}
includegraphics
[page=2,width=linewidth,height=.95textheight,keepaspectratio]
{example-image-duck}
captionof{figure}{another ducklabel{fig:duck2}}
end{minipage}
end{landscape}

end{document}


enter image description here



A late edit:



The following produces two clickable links that make the PDF viewer jump to the pages the two ducks are placed:



documentclass{article}
usepackage{pdfpages}
usepackage{hyperref}

begin{document}

hyperlink{hyp:duck1}{the first duck} and
hyperlink{hyp:duck2}{the second duck}
