Merging PDF document of various page sizes. Can ConTeXt help?
by Gerben Wierda 14 Jan '12

14 Jan '12

Hello community, I have the following problem. I need to create a single PDF file where each page may have a different size and orientation. Say the first page is A4 portrait, the second is A3 landscape and so on. Can ConTeXr help? Each page contains a PDF image of some random size that is inserted. I have been looking around for a solution but haven't found one. I also tried Create.app, the drawing program. And I tried a program call PDF Merge and some others. Neither of these work, and most of the merge programs out there maybe merged, but changed the nice vector images into pixel images, completely destroying print quality. So, I am back where I started. Is there some fancy ConTeXt trickery I could use to do this? Summary: - One PDF as result - Each page has a different size and orientation - Each page contains a PDF vector image that is not to be converted to pixels Yours, G

footnote mechanism broken (2)
by Steffen Wolfrum 13 Jan '12

Hi, an other strange thing related to footnotes can be seen here: \def\MyNote#1{\switchtobodyfont[12pt]\high{#1}} % <- gives small number %\def\MyNote#1{\switchtobodyfont[13pt]\high{#1}} % <- gives big number \setupnote [footnote] [textcommand=\MyNote] \starttext Hi there!\footnote{I’m a footnote.} \stoptext Please run it with 12pt and also with 13pt: The difference in the number's size is huge, not only 1pt!!

Hi, testing the current beta gave me several errors and "Undefined control sequence", for example \showframe (must not be used before \starttext anymore?} but what about \definetolerancemethod[...][...]{...} Is this repleaced or deleted? Steffen

convert color to black and white documents
by Matthias Weber 12 Jan '12

12 Jan '12

Dear all, I am working on a text with plenty of figures, using modes to create both a screen and a print version. For the print version, which will be printed in black and white, I'd like to have all colors (including those of the figures) to be converted to grayscale so that I can softproof the document. Is there a way to do that in ConTeXt? I realize that these are multiple problems, addressing the conversion of the figures as well as the conversion of colored texts and other decorations that are done within ConTeXt. Thanks for any hints, Matthias
