I need to include several documents in a single paginated file. Treating the source file (.tex) of each document as a component file in a .prd file is one way to go. But I was wondering if it might be possible to do get the same result using the .pdf files of each document instead. \copypages is promising: it includes the. pdf files and the counter in the resultant .prd file is correct. But what I still have to get is the page number on all pages of the included .pdf files except the first page in each. I looked at \startpagefigure but that would be a very cumbersome way to go since there over 350 pages to include, given that it handles only one page at a time. I hope that this makes sense. Any suggestions or pointers will be most welcome. Alan

I don't completely understand the question

I guess something like this: \setupexternalfigures[location=default] \starttext ... \page \getfiguredimensions[texit.pdf] \noheaderandfooterlines \dorecurse{\noffigurepages} {\vbox to \vsize {\vskip-\dimexpr\headerheight+\topspace\relax \hbox to \hsize {\hskip-\backspace \externalfigure[texit.pdf][page=\recurselevel]% \hss}% \vss}} \page ... \stoptext
Any suggestions or pointers will be most welcome.

When both document have the same size you can replace TeXpage with a "page" layout. \startlayout[page] \dorecurse{\noffigurepages}{\externalfigure[...][page=\recurselevel]} \stoplayout Wolfgang

Thanks for the comment (also I didn't know about \startlayout .. \stoplayout). Unfortunately, in my use case, the paper sizes may not be the same.. I am typically attaching published journal articles and some are published on letter paper and some on A4. Thanks, Aditya

After further testing guided by Hans’ suggestion, I now have
\setupexternalfigures[location=default]
\setuplayer[preset=rightbottom, method=overlay]{}
\setuppagenumbering[color=darkmagenta]
\starttext
\getfiguredimensions[HannahBW.pdf]
\dorecurse{\noffigurepages}{
\startTEXpage[pagestate=start]
\layeredtext[]
[boffset=3pc, roffset=3pc]
{\darkmagenta\subpagenumber}
{\externalfigure[HannahBW.pdf][page=#1]}
\stopTEXpage
}
\stoptext
which works, though it would arguably be better if there is a way to
prevent the subpage number on the first page of every included file.
