I am afraid I did not phrase my question clear enough. The problem is producing a rearranged pdf from an existing one. Hans van der Meer On 17 dec. 2011, at 17:50, Marco Pessotto wrote:

I think I saw in the recent past here something about rearranging the pages of a pdf. However, I cannot find it, therefore I take the liberty to place this question. The idea is to change the pages from 1,2,3,4,etc, into 1,3,2,4,etc. Can it be done with one of the tools in the ConTeXt distribution, or else..? Thanks in advance

It's described in "Layouts in context". There are plenty of schemas for the imposition.

For example:

\setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape] \setuparranging[2UP] % or \setuparranging[2*2*2]

\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]

\starttext

\dorecurse{20}{\input knuth}

\stoptext

Then compile with context --arrange source.tex

Bests.
