Insert Trello.com Print as PDF in project

Question

I have printed a few lists to pdf (on a4 pages) which I need to add as appendix to my project. It seems I can do this with \includegraphics or with \includepdf (from \usepackage{pdfpages}).

• Includegraphics: Prints the first page , but keeps the top and left margins intact. Doesn't scale the image however, so the right and bottom margins are simply cut off. (The way Trello prints lists, it simply puts them all below eachother, one card-width wide, so the right-side being cut off is not so much a problem. The bottom part is, however.) Also, it doesn't print any other pages than the first.

• IncludePDF: Prints all pages on top of each other, basically resulting in only printing the last page. It does print the page on the same page as the header, which is nice. However, the chapter caption and number are printed over the pdf itself. Also it sets the margins to zero so the page is inserted as-is. Besides that the page numbers are now gone.

I think the way to go is \includepdf, seeing the results I already "achieved". However, I'd rather not include every page manually, because even though this is only 3 pages I might go crazy and write documentation of say, 15 pages.

MWE incoming

\documentclass[11pt]{report}
    \usepackage{float}
    \usepackage{pdfpages}

\begin{document}
    empty page
    \newpage
    \appendix
    \chapter{Trello Board}
    %https://trello.com/b/MN172Syh/back-to-school -> print this page.

    \begin{figure}[H]
        \includepdf[pages=-]{trelloExample.pdf}
        \caption{Epics \& User stories}
        \label{apx:scrumboard}
    \end{figure}
\end{document}

So it seems that, up to the point where I simply added \includepdf, everything worked. And then I added the figure.

Answer 1

Your issue is caused by the fact you're using \includepdf within a figure environment. You just have to remove it:

\documentclass[11pt]{report}
    \usepackage{float}
    \usepackage{pdfpages}

\begin{document}
    empty page
    \newpage
    \appendix
    \chapter{Trello Board}
    %https://trello.com/b/MN172Syh/back-to-school -> print this page.
        \includepdf[pages=-]{trelloExample.pdf}
\end{document}

This solution works for me:

• Compile following code in order to generate dummy-example.pdf:

  \documentclass{scrartcl}
      \usepackage{lastpage}
      \usepackage{scrpage2}
      \pagestyle{scrheadings}
      \clearscrheadfoot
      \ohead{\texttt{dummy-example.pdf} --- Page \thepage\ of \pageref{LastPage}}
  
      \usepackage{lipsum}
  
  \begin{document}
      \lipsum[1-13]
  \end{document}
  

• Include the this pdf into your main document via:

  \documentclass{scrartcl}
      \usepackage{lastpage}
      \usepackage{scrpage2}
      \usepackage{pdfpages}
      \pagestyle{scrheadings}
      \clearscrheadfoot
      \ohead{\texttt{main document} --- Page \thepage\ of \pageref{LastPage}}
  
  \begin{document}
      empty page
      \newpage
      \includepdf[pages=-,pagecommand={\thispagestyle{scrheadings}},scale=0.8]{dummy-example.pdf}% <-- adapt the path to the document accordingly
  \end{document}
  

You should then have a four-pages PDF, including the previous 3-pages pdf, and with heading:
