well, 'extremely' is a bit of a exaggeration i guess as most of these fancy acrobat only features are hardly used or requested (i still have to meet a publisher who wants anything fancy pdf anyway) so we're talking of yet another feature creep that probably only one person will use
Many thanks for your implementation, Hans. I agree it is not a general-purpose feature, but it is very useful when needed. The printing features (duplex and others) that I request are extremely useful for my workmates and in copyshops. With them, I don’t have to explain them how the PDF documents should be printed. I would love to have them in the webapps I have at work, but unfortunately they don’t contain them.
anyway, that said, as we use abstraction and as we don't know pages in advance the only way i'm willing to support it is by using the (probably unknown) marked pages feature
Just to understand, why is it required that pages are known in advance? Is it only a question of convenience for the user or does ConTeXt As for the marked pages feature, it should read for me "(totally unknown)" instead of "(probably unknown)".
% \markpage[foo][1,4,5]
From what I read in i-context.pdf, I wonder whether it would be possible to add page ranges with [10:90].
I don’t have a way of testing it, since I don’t know how to use \markpage for other purposes.
and guess who is going to document it on the wiki ...
Already documented: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/PDF_Print_Options#Print_Page_Range. I agree it might need some editing, but after testing the feature ;-). Many thanks for the implementation again, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
