\start pagefigure not working as expected
Hi guys, I created a CTX document and now I am trying to merge it with two other pages from another (already compiled) pdf document. Usually I did this job with PDF Split And Merge software, but if CTX (mkiv, LuaTeX) is capable of doing the job, I'd be glad to use CTX instead. On the wiki I found a code snippet that sounds promising, as I don't want headers, page numbers etc. on the two merged pages: \startpagefigure[file.pdf][page=1]\stoppagefigure So I added another line with page=2 as content, yet the output generates a PDF with the *first page twice* only. In fact, my precompiled doc has 3 pages, of which I want the first two only in my new PDF, even when I use the following code, LuaTeX generates the first page of the precompiled PDF *three times*: \startpagefigure[file.pdf][page=3]\stoppagefigure \startpagefigure[file.pdf][page=1]\stoppagefigure \startpagefigure[file.pdf][page=5]\stoppagefigure Like I mentioned: even although there is no 5th page in file.pdf, LuaTeX pastes the first page three times... Am I overlooking something or was there some undocumented change to the code? Thanks in advance, Sebastian

Hi Sebastian, how about the following code (I don’t remember when, how or where I found it)? \starttext \startpagemakeup\filterpages[file.pdf][1]\stoppagemakeup \startpagemakeup\filterpages[file.pdf][2]\stoppagemakeup \startpagemakeup\filterpages[file.pdf][3]\stoppagemakeup \stoptext

If you add a non-existing page, you will get a blank page (with the code above).

Sorry, but I don’t know. Probably I used pagefigure before discovering pagemakeup. Just in case it might help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
Your suggestion works fine for me. I tried \filterpages too, as it is
mentioned on the wiki as well, but the pages then got scaled to the
\setuplayout definitions. I didn't think about using it within the
\startpagemakeup environment though.
So thanks Pablo.
P.S.: I'd still love to know why the simple \startpagefigure doesn't work
as expected as I thought that's what it's there for.
