Problems with texexec & pdfarrange
Hello, everybody In page 8 of the mtexexec manual we can see the following command: texexec --pdfarrange --paper=A5A4 --print=up live.pdf If I try it with a PDF file, for example, texexec --pdfarrange --paper=A5A4 --print=up --print gri.pdf I get an error message: ! Missing number, treated as zero. <to be read again> A \@@ppoffset ->A 5A4 \calculatepaperoffsets ...lue {\??pp #1\c!offset } \divide \scratchdimen \arr... <argument> ...dth }\fi \calculatepaperoffsets {A4} \xdef \papersize {A4} \firstofoneargument #1->#1 \next1 #1,->\docommand {#1} \doprocesscommaitem ... l.3 \setuplayout ?

Hi, In the meantime the paper command option is --paperformat=A4A5. in my opinion the print command option is --print=2up Willi Marcus Vinicius Mesquita de So wrote:

in my opinion the print command option is --print=2up
It shouldn't matter (2up vs up). The tex.rb script has this: case getvariable('printformat') when '' then arrangement << "\\v!normal" when /.*up/oi then arrangement << ["2UP","\\v!rotated"] when /.*down/oi then arrangement << ["2DOWN","\\v!rotated"] when /.*side/oi then arrangement << ["2SIDE","\\v!rotated"] end So --printformat looks whether 'up', 'down', or 'side' is given as the key and then chooses 2UP, 2DOWN, or 2SIDE accordingly. -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1.
texexec --pdfarrange --paper=A5A4 --print=up live.pdf
It needs to be given as '--paperformat'. I'm pretty sure '--paper' gets disambiguated as --paperoffset, so ConTeXt looks for a dimension but gets "A5A4", and then complains about a missing number. -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1.

Ok. With --paperformat texexec works nice.
Thank you for the answers.
