Hi John, I do not have the complete answer to your question. The problem lies in the fact that one should have the second document in a rotated form. Once you have one document upright and the second rotated, you could use the mechanisms described in page-imp.mkII/mkiv to create a single document from the two base-documents. Once the two documents are combined into one you could invoke arranging. You can do things like: \definepapersize [offset=15pt] \setuppapersize [A5,landscape][A4,portrait] \setuplayout [backspace=0pt, topspace=0pt, width=middle, height=middle, location=middle, header=0pt, footer=0pt] \setuppagenumbering[location=,alternative=doublesided] \setuparranging[2DOWN] \starttext % \copypages % [the-review.pdf] % [scale=1000, % offset=0pt] % \filterpages % [the-review.pdf][1:16][width=0pt] \insertpages[the-review.pdf][width=0pt] \stoptext On Feb 18, 2010, at 12:41 AM, John Culleton wrote:
A person has asked for a solution to this problem: print a dual magazine where the first half is a regular magazine, but the second half is a magazine with the pages upside down with respect to the first half. In other words the back cover is really the front cover of the second magazine. I assume that the page counts of each magazine are equal.
I know that Context has an extensive imposition capability but I don't think this particular problem has been addressed. -- John Culleton "Create Book Covers with Scribus" Printable E-book 38 pages $5.95 http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html ______________________________________________________________________ _____________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki!
