Adjusting topspace for letterhead in layer construct
mtx-context | current version: 2014.10.18 14:30 I only want about 3 to 5 mm between the physical top of the page and the top of the letterhead (in this example, a company's and contact information). In \setlayer I set y=3mm The pdf view of the output looks good, but an actual printout (and a look at a print preview with a pdf viewer) of the generated pdf file puts the top of the letterhead about 17 mm down from the top edge. This is too much. I tried adjusting topspace and topdistance to 0 didn't seem to have any affect. I am using theh ConText standalone: mtx-context version: 2014.10.18 14:30 Here is a simple minimal exmple: % % Start of minimal example \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \setuppagenumbering[location=footer] \setuplayout[ backspace=31mm, header=5mm, rightmargin=2cm, leftmargin=2cm ] \definelayer [Logo] % name of the layer we are defining [ repeat=yes, x=5mm,y=3mm, % Just what is this? hoffset=0mm,voffset=0mm, % and what is this? ...offset from where? width=\paperwidth ] \setupTABLE[r][1,2,3][height=5mm,frame=off] % Put letterhead information in here. \starttext \setlayer[Logo][] { \bTABLE \bTR \bTD \eTD \bTD \sc{Company Name}\eTD \bTD \sc{info}@\sc{something}.\sc{where} \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD \eTD \bTD 2059 Forest Ave, Ste X \eTD \bTD \sc{www}.\sc{domain}.\sc{topleveldomain} \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD \eTD \bTD City, Province \eTD \bTD Tel (xxx) 999-1234 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE } \setupbackgrounds[page][background=Logo] ~ % Need `` to avoid a NULL content page so can generate a pdf \stoptext % % End of minimal example

Check your printer settings, most printers downscale the document when the distance between the text and the margins are too small. Wolfgang
