Dear list,
I need to get the number of pages from an external PDF file that I also define with an \env.
I think I could get something like this.:
\def\Myfilename{\env{filename}} doc = epdf.open(arg[\MyFilename]) total_pages_ = doc:getNumPages() \def\Mypages{total_pages}
But mixing both lua and ConTeXt commands the wrong way won’t work.
Sorry, but this is all Greek to me. Although I see how it could be done, I cannot write the code for this.
Which is the right way to get the code above working?
From my old cut-n-paste module (to format two column pdfs into one column so that they are easier to read on an eink reader) \useexternalfigure[cnp:name][\cut!n!paste!parameter\c!name]% Is this really needed? \getfiguredimensions[cnp:name]% \edef\cut!n!paste!NOfpages {\noffigurepages}% Aditya [1]: https://github.com/adityam/cut-n-paste/blob/master/tex/context/third/cut-n-p...
