Dear list, I’m trying to build a booklet from an existing PDF document, my code is the following (copied from the wiki long time ago): \setuppapersize [A5][A4,landscape] \setuparranging [2UP,doublesided] \setuplayout [backspace=0pt, topspace=0pt, width=middle, height=middle, location=middle, header=0pt, footer=0pt, grid=no, marking=off] \starttext \insertpages[document.pdf][width=0pt] \stoptext It works perfectly, but I would like to achieve the same effect, only imposing 4 pages on each side of the paper (8 pages per sheet). Replacing the first two lines with: \setuppapersize [A6][A4] \setuparranging [2*4] rearranges all pages, but not the way I want. With the previous option, I have to cut the paper in four. I would like to avoid this. I would like to cut the A4 in two landscape A5 to be folded (not cut) in two A6 pages. Which is the way to get this imposition? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
Pablo,
there is no imposing scheme in ConTeXt which can do this. The only way is to cut the A4 in two A5, Use 2Side imposing scheme and print the the A5 paper…

Many thanks for your reply, Willy. Is there no way to add a new \setuparranging? I think it may be useful to others. Cutting paper is not an option for me, since I don’t have a printer. I have to print in copyshops. And A4 is the only option. Pablo

see page-imp.* (still wondering if we should have these definitions loaded on demand)

Many thanks for the tip, Hans. After reading page-imp.mkiv, I have realized that 2*4*2 does the job, but only with 16 pages. Wouldn’t it be possible to extend the definition of the 2*4*2, so that it works with any given number of pages? Sorry, but I must admit that the contents of page-imp.mkiv are almost Greek to me.
