LaTeX: Landscape pdf numbers in the wrong place

Question

I am trying to insert some pdf pages into my LaTeX document and have them numbered.

So far, I have the following tex file:

\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\usepackage{pdflscape}
\begin{document}
\section{Test Section}
Test Vertical, number bottom
\clearpage
\begin{landscape}
\includepdf[pages=1,landscape=true, scale=0.9,pagecommand=\section{Task Sheet}]{task_template.pdf}
\includepdf[pages=2,landscape=true, scale=0.9,pagecommand={}]{task_template.pdf}
\end{landscape}
\end{document}

This correctly rotates the pages and the pdfs, but the page number is aligned to the left of the pdf and rotated. How do I change this so that the number is in the same location (bottom middle) as the portrait page.

Did you check the answers to the following question? single landscape page with page number at the bottom? — leandriis, Apr 13 '18 at 19:39

You could load packages scrlayer and scrhack. Then you can declare a layer containing the page number and a layer pagestyle for included landscape pages.

\documentclass[10pt]{article}

\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\usepackage{pdflscape}
\usepackage{scrlayer}
\usepackage{scrhack}
\DeclareNewLayer[
  background,
  textarea,
  addwidth=\footskip,
  addwidth=\footheight,
  contents=\hfill%
    \rotatebox{90}{\parbox{\layerheight}{\centering\pagemark}}
]{lscape.foot}

\DeclareNewPageStyleByLayers{lscape}{lscape.foot}
\begin{document}
\section{Test Section}
Test Vertical, number bottom
\clearpage
\begin{landscape}
\includepdf[pages=1,landscape=true, scale=.9,pagecommand=\section{Task Sheet}\thispagestyle{lscape}]{example-image-a4-landscape.pdf}
\includepdf[pages=1,landscape=true, scale=0.9,pagecommand={\thispagestyle{lscape}}]{example-image-a4-landscape.pdf}
\end{landscape}
\end{document}

Result:

You can also use package typearea to change the paper orientation:

\documentclass[10pt,
  letterpaper% <- paper size as class option
]{article}
\usepackage[usegeometry]{typearea}% load before geometry
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{pdfpages}

\newcommand*{\useportrait}{%
  \cleardoublepage
  \KOMAoptions{paper=portrait,DIV=current}%
  \newgeometry{margin=1in}%
}
\newcommand*{\uselandscape}{%
  \cleardoublepage
  \KOMAoptions{paper=landscape,DIV=current}%
  \newgeometry{margin=1in}%
}

\begin{document}
\section{Test Section}
Test Vertical, number bottom
\uselandscape
\KOMAoptions{paper=landscape,DIV=current}
\newgeometry{margin=1in}
\includepdf[pages=1, scale=0.9,pagecommand=\section{Task Sheet}]{example-image-a4-landscape.pdf}
\includepdf[pages=1, scale=0.9,pagecommand={}]{example-image-a4-landscape.pdf}
\useportrait
\section{Second Test Section}
Test Vertical, number bottom
\end{document}
