I am writing my thesis, and I need to add a single pdf page in the appendix, so I found a way to use the pdfpage package. Normally I added the package, when I added the package and I continued writing it up. and when I compiled, I could not see any changes to my document. it basically blocks everything. when I delete that line (\include{PdfPackage}} then everything works fine. it didn't even append the pdf page.

\documentclass[oneside]{ecsthesis}  
\graphicspath{{../Figures/}}   
\usepackage{pdfpages}

Think of this question from the community's perspective. You need to provide more information in order to solve this. Apart from having a crystal ball there's not enough information to adequately answer this. How about creating a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem, and including the .log file of the output you receive as part of your question (via an edit). – Werner Sep 13 '12 at 23:18

You include the package with \usepackage{pdfpages} and include the PDF with \includepdf{file.pdf}, right? If its only a single page, you actually don't need to use pdfpages. You could just use graphicx and \includegraphics[page=X]{file}. However, then you might have to do some jigging with the scaling of the page. Regardless, that can be done... – Werner Sep 13 '12 at 23:34
Yes, you are right, Yes I will try with include graphics. But the pdf page is landscape, is it possible to turn it into portrait as the document is portrait. – Farhad Sep 13 '12 at 23:38
Yes, see the graphicx documentation. \includegraphics[page=X,angle=90]{file} or even \rotatebox{90}{\includegraphics[page=X]{file}}. – Werner Sep 13 '12 at 23:40

If the included page is in landscape, then it should probably rotated, when viewed in the PDF reader. Package pdflscape notifies the PDF viewer by setting a rotation angle for the pages in environment landscape.

\documentclass[oneside]{report}
% ...
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\usepackage{pdflscape}
% ...

\begin{document}
Hello World.

\begin{landscape}
\includepdf[angle=90]{t.pdf}
\end{landscape}

End of document.
\end{document}
