I'm no expert, but here's the way I do it:
\externalfigure[filename][page=2]
Then, I adjust the clipping to -- for instance -- get rid of the page
number of the inserted `figure', as well as of its top and left margins.
\clip [ voffset=1.25in, % clip the topmost part of the inserted page
hoffset=1.5in, % clip the left margin of the inserted page
height=9in, % clip the bottom of the inserted page
width=5.1in] % clip the right margin
{\externalfigure[filename][page=2]}}
And, if you like, you can put all this into a \midaligned{}.

Well, if you treat the inserted PDF page as a figure, the page number of
your main document won't be affected. Just clip the page number (if any)
which lies on the inserted PDF page.
Regards,
David
