Hi Hraban, Wolfgang and Hans,
nobody else reacted so I am writing
Better keep this on the list.
...
Thanks to Hraban for the code and Wolfgang for its revision, it's a good
material how to work with layers, measures  (I'll inspire by it) etc.
You’re welcome.
...
1. Is a ConTeXt layer accepted as a whole in commercial Acrobat, or is it
visible as a heap of small objects? Or is it "only" better for more
comfortable manipulation in ConTeXt?
I don’t understand the question.
A ConTeXt layer is not a PDF layer.
All the objects are manipulatable in Acrobat Pro (or another PDF editor),
there’s no grouping on the PDF level.
...
2. Is better to write it as much as possible at ConTeXt level (as Hraban or
Wolfgang did), or is better to write it in lua? There is more than dozen
measures... Also more computations are required and they are different
for different kinds of covers (book bindings).
I guess it’s a matter of taste.
Of course calculations are easier in Lua, but in my image placement macros
I struggled a lot with numbers vs. measures/dimensions, regardless if in Lua
or on the TeX level.


Greetlings, Hraban
