Hi there, like in January (see mail by Mari), the latest beta produces only empty pages with 2UP imposition schema; others work (tested 2SIDE and 2DOWN). e.g. \setuppapersize [A5][A4,landscape] \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided,location=footer] \setuplayout [margin=0pt,width=fit] \setupbackgrounds [text][text][background=screen,backgroundscreen=0.7] \setupcolors [state=start] \setuplayout [location=middle,marking=on] \setuparranging [2UP] %[2*2*4,doublesided] \startbuffer[Fakepage] \strut \blank[force] \midaligned{2UP} \vfill \midaligned{This is page \recurselevel} \vfill \stopbuffer \setupheadertexts[\CONTEXT] \starttext \dorecurse{16}{\getbuffer[Fakepage]\page} \stoptext Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

PING Any news on that? Today's beta still is buggy. Unfortunately I need 2UP imposition urgently. Greetlings, Hraban

PING still the same with latest beta. Additionally: Is it possible to define a distance between imposed pages? If I have bleeding images, they bleed into other pages. Greetlings, Hraban

Version 2011.11.29 23:11 works. I think you can get it on the git repository. There was a thread recently about how to fetch it from there. -- Marco

Yes, e.g. "my" thread. I'm working with such an old version for the project where I can’t live without 2UP imposition. But there are other problems with that, and I really don’t like to switch ConTeXt versions all the time. The 2UP can’t be that hard to fix, can it? Other imposition schemes still work.

Even if I think that the imposition schemas are a wonderful ConTeXt feature, I don't believe that helps (actually, I'm pretty sure it doesn't) repeating that you need the now-broken feature. Anyway, for simple 2UP scheme, if you need it badly and urgently, you may want to try pdfjam (which uses LaTeX under the hood, I used it for a while) or the psutils, with a pdf -> ps -> pdf trip (psbook), (both are shipped with ConTeXt, I used them for a while and were really fine) or even write your own imposer which uses ConTeXt under the hood. I wrote and rewrote mine a couple of times (because I need a dinamically determinated signature) and it's not that difficult.

Sure: %% start \setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape] \setuparranging[2UP] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \starttext \dorecurse{20}{ \input knuth } \stoptext % stop This produces 6 white pages with the latest beta (while output correctly with 2011.11.29 23:11). Best wishes -- Marco
