I am trying to include an odd sized graph in between to pages as a graph however, the graph is automatically sized on an A4 page. My graph has a different background color, so ideally I would like to have only my graph with its odd size and not my graph printed on a white A4 page and autosized.

    Welcome! Please provide a minimal working example so that we can help you. – cfr May 17 '16 at 02:53
  • I am very newbie to LaTeX so I used one line that I saw somehere.

    code is : \includepdf[pages={1}]{src/img/branding/table.pdf}

    the table has a rectangular form, slimmer than an A4 in width. I don't know what else to tell you about it.

  • If it will fit into the text area, use \includegraphics[page=1]{src/img/branding/table.pdf} from the graphicx package. If source is only one page, you can skip the [page=1]. – John Kormylo May 17 '16 at 03:43
  • The thing is my table is on an A4 page. I don't want my table to be printed on a page at all. Imaging a table 150x297 which is black. An A4 is 210 x 297. So there are 60cms (30 on each side) of white remainings of the page. I would like to have my odd sized table to be a custom made page itself with nothing on the background. Only the table and nothing white left at the background.

    I am sorry if I am not expressing myself properly. Does anybody know how I can do this?

  • @latexguy Do you want to adapt page size to your table size (read Change paper size in mid-document)? – Paul Gaborit May 17 '16 at 05:12
  • A sketch, what you like to have is the same as 1000 words ... try to include your table with \includepdf[<options>]{file.pdf} and table make for example with standalone with desired size. – Zarko May 17 '16 at 05:12
  • \includepdf[fitpaper]{src/img/branding/table.pdf} worked!

    Thanks a lot everyone!

  • Should @Zarko answer, do you think? – cfr May 17 '16 at 12:43

In cases, when a some page in text should have completely different layout, seems to be the best way to make this page separately (for example by help of document class standalone or extracting content with preview package) and than include it as pdf page:

\includepdf[<options>]{file.pdf}

In your case (as you said in your comment):

\includepdf[fitpaper]{table.pdf}
