\externalfigure and large-paged pdfs

8 Nov 2012

      Hi,

Actually, this is a bug report. If you try to include a pdf with a large
page size:

   \starttext
   \externalfigure[plankaart]
   \stoptext

chances are that you get an error message like this:

! Dimension too large.
<recently read> \hsize

\setraggedness ...yphenpenalty \dimexpr 2.8\hsize
                                                   /\dimexpr #1\relax 
\relax ...
\raggedcenter ...spac_align_set_raggedness_middle

l.2 \externalfigure[plankaart]

It seems that \externalfigure forces execution of \raggedcenter, and if
your PDF's page is large enough, that then fails.

There is, in fact, a workaroud:

   \starttext
   {\setupalign[nothyphenated]\externalfigure[plankaart]}
   \stoptext

but that looks totally bizarre. Hans, can you find a way to fix this
properly?

Best wishes,
