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

I wonder how this imposes \starttext \setuppapersize[A4] \dorecurse{10}{test\page} \setuppapersize[A4,rotated,180] \dorecurse{10}{test\page} \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

So, that is a short cut!

I did not know weather the magazine was in context or not. Anyway is there a possibility to rotate pages in a already typeset pdf?

externalfigure has no rotation key, and this does not work out well \defineoverlay[realdirty][{\rotate[rotation=180]{\foregroundbox}}] \framed{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][background=realdirty]} (no time now) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Kind regards

pdftk is a pretty powerful tool: http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/ Alan

Great, nicely packed in a joke! - This has not come to my mind as a solution and I am sure that I will need this idea later on! Thanks! Willi On Feb 18, 2010, at 4:52 PM, luigi scarso wrote:

like a rolling stone ?

%%test-willy \starttext \dorecurse{5}{\startTEXpage\framed[width=10cm,align=right]{\ss \input knuth\relax}\stopTEXpage} \stoptext

\starttext \startTEXpage \dorecurse{5}{% \rotate[rotation=\numexpr 72 * (\recurselevel-1)\relax]{\externalfigure[test-willy][page= \recurselevel]}% } \stopTEXpage \stoptext
