imposition with some rotated pages
Dear list, I have a PDF document in A4 paper size with some rotated pages. I would like to make a booklet of it: \setuppapersize [A5][A4, landscape] \setuparranging [2UP] \setuplayout [backspace=0pt, topspace=0pt, width=middle, height=middle, location=middle, header=0pt, footer=0pt] \setupinteractionscreen[option={landscape, paper}, copies=1] \starttext \filterpages[report.pdf][1:25][width=0pt] \filterpages[report.pdf][27:30][width=0pt]%they are rotated \filterpages[report.pdf][31:100][width=0pt] \stoptext The rotated pages in the source PDF document are a problem here. The wiki contains the info that \filterpages may be rotated with [orientation=90]. But this seems to be old, since it doesn’t work. If I add \rotate[rotation=90]{\filterpages[report.pdf][27:30][width=0pt]}, automatic scaling doesn’t work. And all pages will be considered as a single image. Is there any way to have rotation for some pages in the source document to get the right imposition? I’m afraid rotation comes from the source PDF document in this case. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

With "pdftk" you can rotate some or all pages of a pdf-document. But perhaps this isn't what you want. Rudolf

Many thanks for your reply, Rudolf. I would avoid using pdftk, because I need a Windows computer for that (problems with Java). Besides being an extra step, I think imposition should rotate already rotated pages (only to enable the right imposition). Many thanks for your advice, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Hi Pablo, hm, it seems that this is a special issue. As I understand it you should separate the pages which are rotated. Then rotate them into another file. Finally use the [2UP] arranging for reassembling all pages. The built in impositioning tool in Context is typesetting first all pages upright. In an other run the pages are impositioned and rotaded as needed according the the schema chosen. There is therefore no way to make a booklet from your source directly, I hope you will find a way to separate the rotated pages! Best regards Willi

Hi Willi, many thanks for your reply. After printing some imposed pages (the ones that didn’t need rotation), I realized the text was barely readable. So I will print it normal

Weird. All my impositions only take a run. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
