With \page[last] can fill your document with empty pages to fill the missing pages which are needed for a certain imposition method but you have to use it at the *end* of the document in *not in* the document.

I understood it as "forward to last page" and need it to place some information on the back page of the booklet. That works as long as I don’t impose (arrange). What would you suggest to put something onto the last (i.e. back) page? Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

The wiki has a trick, but I think it stopped working at some stage - maybe somebody can fix it (if it is broken): http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Imposition#Getting_the_last_page_of_a_Booklet

(Obviously we aren't the only ones with this problem...)

I use the following code (luatex only). \startusercode function fillsignature(pages) -- skip the cover pages = pages - 2 local originalpages = pages --set needed pages to 0 local neededpages = 0 local modulo = pages % 4 if modulo ~= 0 then neededpages = 4 - modulo end if neededpages ~= 0 then global.texio.write_nl('term and log', "Here I added " .. neededpages .. " pages") tex.print("\\dorecurse{" .. neededpages .. "}{\\page[empty]}") else global.texio.write_nl('No page needed!') end end \stopusercode \define[1]\fillthesignature{ \usercode{fillsignature(#1)}} \define\bookletclosing{ \fillthesignature{\the\realpageno} \page[empty]} \setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape] \setuparranging[2UP] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \starttext \dorecurse{10}{ \input knuth \page[yes] \input knuth } \bookletclosing This is the last page \stoptext Best wishes -- Marco
