Hi Pablo, The problem is that the filius-page is higher than the width of an A4. So there is no way other than to scale the original pages down to a height of 210mm. For this action you can use something like The following code in a tex-file. \definepapersize[Mypaper][height=210mm,width=123mm] \setuppapersize [Mypaper][Mypaper] \setuplayout [page] \starttext \copypages [input.pdf] [scale=905, offset=0pt] \stoptext The resulting pdf-file should then be arranged. However I would suggest not to use 2UP. Arranging the whole file (351 pages) with 2UP results in a rather thick single booklet of 88 A4-sheets. What you can try is to setup arranging as follows (untested). Put this code into an environment file e.g. arrange.tex \definepapersize[Mypaper][height=210mm,width=123mm] %\definepapersize [offset=15pt] \setuppapersize [Mypaper][A4,portrait] \setuplayout [backspace=0pt, topspace=0pt, width=middle, height=middle, %location=middle, header=0pt, footer=0pt] \setuppagenumbering[location=,alternative=doublesided] \setuparranging[2*2*4] \starttext \insertpages[input-scaled.pdf][width=0pt] \stoptext On the commandline call conTeXt as follows texmfstart texexec --pdfarrange --environments=arrange -- result=output.pdf input-scaled.pdf I hope this helps Willi On Jan 18, 2009, at 8:05 PM, Pablo RodrÃguez wrote:
Hi there,
I would like to use the imposition capabilities from ConTeXt to be able to print a PDF book in a standard laser printer. To save paper, I use the 2UP arranging option thanks to this code from the wiki:
\definepapersize [filius][width=135.9mm, height=231.8mm] \setuppapersize [filius][A4,landscape] \setuparranging [2UP,doublesided] \setuplayout [backspace=0pt, topspace=0pt, width=middle, height=middle, location=middle, header=0pt, footer=0pt, grid=no, marking=off] \starttext \filterpages[ZittrainTheFutureoftheInternet.pdf][4:351][height=21cm] \stoptext
The PDF file can be downloaded from http://futureoftheinternet.org/static/ ZittrainTheFutureoftheInternet.pdf.
The issue here is that I get a resulting paper size with the filius height and not with 21cm from A4.
I have tried have the output in a standard A4 paper size, but all that I got is a scaled down PDF. I would like to avoid scaling the document if that were possible.
Is there any way, given the example above, to impose the filius paper size on a real landscape A4 without having to scale down the PDF document?
Thanks for your help,
Pablo
