[Tex/LaTex] Include several pages of a PDF without losing LaTex document style

pdfpages

I would like to include several pages of a PDF as a subsection in my LaTex Document using the package pdfpages. I tried

\includepdf[scale=0.8,pages=1-5,pagecommand=\subsection{blub}]{testpdf}

from the question How to include PDF pages without a newpage before the first page?
But unfortunately every single page of the pdf becomes a new subsection though I would like to have just one subsection with five pages. The default setting
\includepdf[scale=0.8,pages={1-5}]{pdfdocument}
for pagecommand does not work for me either, because I want the normal page numbers, headseplines and so on to appear. I have no idea which option for pagecommand I could use to make this work. Thanks a lot for your help!

The default pagecommand uses \thispagestyle{empty} which disables page numbers, headers and footers etc. You can use pagecommand={} to overwrite this and get normal layout for these pages.

You can use the pagecommand key:

\includepdf[scale=0.8,pages=1,pagecommand=\subsection{blub}]{testpdf}

You get the empty page when you use \includegraphics because the graphics is too large for the textbody, so latex tries if it fits on the next page (and then complain). pdfpages hides the size of the graphics so it is possible to insert complete pages which overwrites the margins. If you want to insert large graphics with \includegraphics: use eso-pic.

There's a conflict between Sweave and pdfpages. Try this.

Note this is a .Rnw file (Sweave file) which is being processed into tex via a call like this from R: Sweave("foo.Rnw"). So, it's a specific Sweave issue. Anyhow, change your \usepackage call for Sweave in your .Rnw file to the following. Note the addition of [nogin]

%%%%%%%%%%%% foo.Rnw

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[nogin]{Sweave}
\usepackage{pdfpages}

\begin{document}

\newpage

\includepdf[fitpaper=true, pages=-]{test.pdf}

\end{document}

What's going on.. So By default, Sweave.sty sets the width of all included graphics to: \setkeys{Gin}{width=0.8\textwidth}, and it is treating the inserted pdf pages as graphics and setting the size according to the above. You need to override this. If you do this in the \usepackage call, you do this for all graphics. If you don't want that, then you can use this (or something similar)

\setkeys{Gin}{width=8.5in}  #um not positive on that syntax

\includepdf[fitpaper=true, pages=-]{test.pdf}

\setkeys{Gin}{width=0.8\textwidth}
