I’ve just submitted a bug report (#2856)

“If Markdown input contains image, then \includepdf{some.pdf} output scales down far too much.”
https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/2856

I have an MWE (minimally working -- i.e. showing the buggy behavior -- example) attached to the report there.

The problem is:

1. If I use only \includepdf{some.pdf} LaTeX snippets within my Markdown, then PDF output is fine.
2. As soon as I add one ![](some-image.format) Markdown statement to my file, the previously good some.pdf content gets massively scaled down.

My current workaround is to use ![](some.pdf) to get my external PDF content in, but for me this is a crutch only, for various reasons (one reason is that I cannot add Table-of-Contents entries for the PDFs-included-as-images as I can do when using \includepdf{...}).

Does anyone know a better workaround?

Is this bug report better addressed to LaTeX developers?
