Hi, I am trying to include a single test page in my document. The following code fails to set the PDF as the background layer for the cover page. I've tried several variations (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Including_pages_from_PDF_documents), but nothing works. It seems to be a problem with this specific PDF being included. The code: -- 8< -- \def\PictureFrontCover{http://www.education.gov.yk.ca/pdf/pdf-test.pdf} \definelayer[page:CoverPicture][ x=0mm,y=0mm,width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight, ] % Set the layer content to be an image that is scaled to fit the page. \setlayer[page:CoverPicture]{% \externalfigure[\PictureFrontCover][ width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight, ] } \starttext \startfrontmatter \setupbackgrounds[page][background=page:CoverPicture] \startstandardmakeup \stopstandardmakeup \setupbackgrounds[page][background=] \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter Hello world! \stopbodymatter \stoptext -- 8< -- Thoughts?

Mh, is there a resolver for http-adresses in ConTeXt? I guess if you use a local file path, things should work as expected (not tested). Peter

\definelayer[page:CoverPicture][ x=0mm,y=0mm,width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight, ]

% Set the layer content to be an image that is scaled to fit the page. \setlayer[page:CoverPicture]{% \externalfigure[\PictureFrontCover][ width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight, ] }

\starttext \startfrontmatter \setupbackgrounds[page][background=page:CoverPicture] \startstandardmakeup \stopstandardmakeup \setupbackgrounds[page][background=] \stopfrontmatter

\startbodymatter Hello world! \stopbodymatter \stoptext

sure there is ... already for many years (as luigi mentioned, the pdf is bugged so it depends on how good a pdf handler can recover) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

I see. Never tried, never needed it. But I guess I was naive to assume the lack of such a feature.. ;-) Peter

Yes, the PDF is encrypted; it is only displayable, but not changeable or embeddable. Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)
