Hi all, I just created a new mirror of www.pragma-ade.com. It is part of my brand new website on ConTeXt. The mirror is updated every night at 3am CET. URL: http://tex.aanhet.net/context -- groeten, Taco
Hi all, My thesis will partially be printed in duo-tone. In order to reduce the printing costs, I'm trying to reduce the number of colored sides of sheets of paper. The printer uses "katernen" of 32 pages, so he prints 16 pages on each side of a sheet of paper. I have a pdf-file with my thesis (a4 format). How do I arrange and scale the pages, so I can check where the colored pictures are going? I've started using: texexec --pdfarrange --print=2*16 thesis.pdf and this produces a file with the correct (I think) pages on each sheet but they are not scaled? Thanks, Ron van Ostayen

I've started using:
texexec --pdfarrange --print=2*16 thesis.pdf
just add: --paper=A4A2 or so, and then look into the produced texexec.tex file for tuning

Is the thesis typeset in context? If so, you can better arrange directly (see big manual). Also, the current version permits you to make the separations (yet undocumented, working on that) Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK. I've got a tex-file which produces 8x32 page "katernen". However, my thesis consists of 248 pages. Occording to my printer these pages will probably be printed as: 6x32 page katernen (What *is* the english term?) 1x16 page katern 1x8 page katern 1x32 page katern Is there a way to define this complex page-arrangement in a tex-file, so I can check the color pictures?

it's kind of tricky to change arrangements mid document so i would create 4 files and use texexec --pdfselect --selection=n:m to split these files into parts Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would use "imposition sheet" -- in german it's "Form/Ausschießform" or "Bogen/Falzbogen". Grüßlis vom Hraban! -- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://www.ramm.ch/context/ ---
