simpleslides + combinepages != qpdf
by Reviczky, Adam 02 May '11

02 May '11

Hi Here's another qpdf problem I've encountered lately. Not sure if it's ConTeXt's fault (simpleslides perhaps?) or qpdf. Given the following very minimalistic examples: % slides.tex \usemodule[simpleslides][style=BigNumber,font=Helvetica] \starttext \placeTitle \stoptext %handout.tex \setuppapersize [A4][A4] % or [A4,landscape][A4,landscape] \setuplayout [header=0pt,footer=1cm,backspace=1cm,topspace=1cm,width=middle,height=middle] \setupfootertexts [presentation---\currentdate\space---\space\pagenumber] \starttext \combinepages[slides][nx=2,ny=3,frame=on] \stoptext context slides.tex && qpdf --linearize slides.pdf slidesout.pdf => results in the expected outputs context handout.tex => compiles fine and output is as expected qpdf --linearize handout.pdf handoutout.pdf => aborts with the following error: object stream 21 (object 31 0, file position 1601): unknown token while reading object (nullnullnullnull) All with context beta 2011.05.01 and luatex r4233 Can anyone confirm this? Any thoughts? Adam

Error running compiling with ConTeXt MKII
by Isaac Mulolani 02 May '11

02 May '11

Hi, I am new to context trying to compile my first few files. Last week I posted a message requesting help to which Taco responded. As a result, I reinstalled my TeXLive 2010 version and followed the post-installation steps in the TeXLive documentation. I have a demo file(attached to this post) that I wanted to test out. I used Texworks and ran ContXt(MKII) from the menu. Below is my result. ================================================================================= This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.2-0.9997.4 (Web2C 2010) (format=cont-en 2011.5.2) 2 MAY 2011 12:11 entering extended mode restricted \write18 enabled. %&-line parsing enabled. **demo.tex \\emergencyend (./demo.tex systems : BEWARE: syntex functionality is enabled! ConTeXt ver: 2010.05.24 13:05 MKII fmt: 2011.5.2 int: english/english system : cont-new loaded (c:/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex FatalError : Your format does not match the base files! FormatVersion : 2010.05.24 13:05 MKII FilesVersion : 2010.07.30 11:35 ) ) Here is how much of TeX's memory you used: 46 strings out of 459576 740 string characters out of 2586072 4495618 words of memory out of 7000000 38312 multiletter control sequences out of 15000+200000 7 words of font info for 0 fonts, out of 3000000 for 9000 304 hyphenation exceptions out of 8191 20i,0n,15p,163b,401s stack positions out of 5000i,500n,10000p,200000b,50000s No pages of output. ================================================================ Before I ran this, I had also used the tlmgr to connect to tlcontrib.metatex.org/2010 to get the modules from there. Is there something I am missing to be able to get the result? How do I make sure that I am using the right format for a given document?

> I tested your code both with mkii and mkiv, and everything seems to work correctly, both with frame= on or off. What version of context/luatex do you use? I suspect its a problem in luatex, but I have to experiment with it more. I'm using context beta 2011.04.24 with luatex svn rev 4232, but I'm updating to the latest to test it again. Adam

OCProperties (mkiv)
by Peter Rolf 01 May '11

01 May '11

Hi Hans, using the 'Report PDF syntax issues'-preflight in Acrobat9 gives a warning about an 'Unexpected value for this key'. I used 'pdf-x4p.mkiv' from /texmf-context/tex/context/test/ as test file. Probably just a warning about a redundancy (see 'PDF Reference, version 1.7.pdf', p376), setting 'BaseState /ON' in combination with '/ON [ whatever] /OFF [whatever]'. Removing 'BaseState /ON' results in a flawless PDF. Regards, Peter
