Hi List, I have a booklet typset on A5 paper with an A5 pagesize (one page per sheet). The printer-shop wants the pages enlarged to A4, so that they can scale them back down to A5 and imposition 2 on an A4 sheet. Don't ask me why they want this. I don't know. Is it possible to easily do this from within context or what are my options? Any help would be appreciated. Sincerely, Olaf

just impose with context and give them A4 (direct imposition or by using texexec) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

What Hans said, or (just in case they really do not know what to do): \setuppapersize[A4][A4] \setuplayout[page] \starttext \copypages[booklet.pdf][scale=1414] \stoptext They probably missed the "Expand small pages to paper size" setting in the print dialog of the Acrobat Reader, though.
