Hans,
would it be possible to implement two extended printing options defined in the PDF specification?
remind me in a few weeks as i have other priorities now
You have kindly implemented duplex printing and page scaling options. At my workplace, we are it on a daily basis for mail merging (I had to make an “extension” to distinguish between duplex printing and page scaling [it isn’t an option for me]).
In the present implementation, page, portrait and landscape values sets page scaling to none. In most of the documents we generate, we have to fit page contents to printer margins. It is a must for us, since corporate templates are the way they are (wrong designed).
Would it be possible to have the PDF printing options in different keys than the one used for the the viewing options?
It would be also extremely useful to be able to specify the number of copies and select page size from PDF document. These are the keys /NumCopies and /PickTrayByPDFSize (described on page 365 from the PDF specification).
The keys and their values would be:
duplex page portrait landscape (only a duplex key required)
fixed (no value is required)
copies number
pdfsize yes no
This way, the user has only to press the OK button in the printing dialog or enter (and forget about selecting which kind of document requires which options).
I’m asking this for my own needs (it is essential for us at work, where none knows what ConTeXt might be).
But this implementation benefits any ConTeXt user.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo
