[Tex/LaTex] How to include pdf and stretch it over whole page

graphics

I want to include a pdf which has to cover the whole page with larger margins, but there needs to be room to put a caption under it. The pdf file is a table.

\begin{figure}[ht]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=1.5\textwidth,height=1.5\textheight,keepaspectratio]{(IminusA)inverse.pdf}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

However, the pdf file does not fit on the page and it shows only a part of it.

Does anyone knows how to solve this problem?

If it's the case that the page is actually 1.5 times larger than the text width, you should be able to re-center the image by subtracting an appropriate amount of horizontal space.

...
\hspace*{-.25\textwidth}
\includegraphics[width=1.5\textwidth,height=1.5\textheight,keepaspectratio]{(IminusA)inverse.pdf}

If this doesn't look right, then tweak the amount of hspace. Note that this feels like a hack (and is a hack). For a more sustainable solution, see @Bordaigorl's answer.
