pdfpages: To Scale Freely

An improperly scaled pdf page requires tweaking its size. We use scale from graphicx to resize a page, combined with disabling auto-scale, offering an offset = {top, left}.

\documentclass[landscpae]{article}
\usepackage{grffile}  %to treat the spaces in the file name if needed%
\usepackage{pdfpages,graphicx} %the package to do the combination job%
\begin{document}
{
\includepdf[pages={1}, landscape, scale=1.1,noautoscale=true,offset={100 45}]
{OrariDiDirettrice-E12I-02.pdf}
\includepdf[pages={2}, landscape, scale=1.4,noautoscale=true,offset={150 150}]
{OrariDiDirettrice-E12I-02.pdf}
}
\end{document}

Using pdfpages For A beamer Slide

Here is a real example. It simply chooses the specified pages. One might want to get rid of the pages for special effects (e.g. shadowing) to get a printable version.

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{grffile}  %to treat the spaces in the file name if needed%
\usepackage{pdfpages} %the package to do the combination job%
\begin{document}
{
\setbeamercolor{background canvas}{bg=} %set background blank
\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{} %remove navi symbols
\includepdf[pages={1,2,7,12,18,22,24,28,33-45,49,52-76}]{handout-06_fair_ctl_model_checking.pdf}
}
\end{document}
