Hello, I need to create a document where page arranging is mixed somhow - so that some pages are to be typeset "normally", some other placed "2 pages onto 1 page". All pages should appear as A3 size. A simplified code follows; its goal is: - page 1: to be one external figure of size A3 (red), - page 2: to be composed of one page of size A4 (green) on the left half, some text on the right half, - page 3: to be one external figure of size A3 (the same as on page 1) - page 4: to be composed of one page of size A4 on the left half, some text on the right half (as on page 2). The (unwanted) result is: - page 1: as expected, - page 2: as expected, - page 3: surprisignly A4 (red) (whilst the figure is of A3), - page 4: surprisingly A3, but some text on the left half, and no green A4. Is \setuparranging limited somehow or intended for another use? How to generate "Goal.pdf" instead of "t.pdf"? Best regards, Lukas
Hello, I missed to write my code: \starttext \pagefigure[A3.pdf] \start \setuppapersize[A4,portrait][A3,landscape] \setuparranging[2SIDE] \pagefigure[A4.pdf] \input knuth \stop \pagefigure[A3.pdf] \start \setuppapersize[A4,portrait][A3,landscape] \setuparranging[2SIDE] \pagefigure[A4.pdf] \input knuth \stop \stoptext Any idea what I am doing wrong?

When looking at your setup, then it appears, that you start arranging two times. This is not how arranging works. — Context will first compile the whole document as single pages and only after all is ok, it will loop over the pages and arrange them. So it is not possible to mix e.g. A4 portrait pages with A3 landscape pages in an imposition run. Willi

Hello, thanks for explanation - so I'll look for another approach. Best regards, Lukas On 2020-02-26 22:36, Willi Egger wrote:
