Thanks for the suggestions Wolfgang and Luigi. I've now got several good options to research. Kevin On Sat, Jan 31, 2009 at 2:18 AM, Wolfgang Schuster < schuster.wolfgang@googlemail.com> wrote:

I am looking for ideas of how to capture a typeset page (as it would
appear in the resulting pdf output) into a box instead of actually shipping it out directly, if it is possible. I would like to take advantage of ConTeXt's layout features including layers, otherwise I would just create the box with \setbox.
That's AFAIK not possible. Layer are not limited to the complete page, you could use them also with \framed and with streams you get many features of the page builder.
My intent is to draw slides using all of ConTeXt's many layout features,
but capture the rendered slide in a box so I can use it either as a full page in the presentation output or as a scaled image included as a figure in a full text "train the trainer" document.
Why don't you include the pages from the finished pdf, with ConTeXt's modes it is possible to wrote both parts in one document and create two files.
