pdflatex, \includegraphics, and multi-page PDF files

Question

I have a PDF file with multiple figures; each figure is a separate page in the PDF file.

I am using pdflatex, and I would like to use \includegraphics or equivalent to include some of the figures.

Of course I could use an external tool to split the PDF file into multiple one-page PDF files. Then I could use \includegraphics as usual. However, I would have a much simpler workflow if I could avoid this extra step. Hence the question:

How can I include, e.g., page 3 of foo.pdf as a figure?

I am aware that there is a Latex package called pdfpages, but it seems to be designed for something else: with pdfpages, each page in the input file will produce a full page in the final document, not just a box.

Answer 1

graphicx (the extended version of graphics) knows the page option:

\includegraphics[page=3]{foo}

should work, or

\includegraphics[page=..,trim=...,clip]{foo}

for only parts of the page. If you want to include more than one page then use Package pdfpages and the command \includepdf

Answer 2

Here another possibility using graphics package. In this way you can include each one of the pages than you want from your pdf file ([page= number of the page in the pdf file that you want to include). In the example I want to include a big table that I do in pdf having 2 pages and including that in the TOC like table.

    %\fbox{
    \includegraphics[page=2, width=\linewidth]{Foo}%}
    \captionof{table}{Caption}
