Hi John, John R. Culleton :
I need to insert some example pages from one document into another. Both are 8.5 x 11.
I have read the old posts about \startTEXpage etc. and looked at the source code. But I still have a few questions: 1. Can I select e.g., just page 2 from the external document to insert in my document? How?
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{}.
2. Does Context automatically bump its page counter to compensate for the inserted page or pages, or do I have to adjust it after each such insertion?
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
