I would like to use texexec to post-process a large pdf file, so as to prepare it for double sided printing. The existing file has a large left hand "margin" on each page, so as to allow binding.

I would like to change this so that odd (right) pages have a large left margin, and even (left) pages a large right margin.

\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setuplayout[horoffset=1cm] \setuplayout[page] \starttext \copypages[document] \stoptext

Thanks, that's great! Is there an easy way to compensate for the original offset? The original pdf has a large left margin and a small right one.

you can add this to the wiki.

Will do. -- John Devereux
