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

Greetings from Brazil

 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.
   
indeed

[NTG-context] Problems with texexec pdfarrange

2006-11-16 Thread Marcus Vinicius Mesquita de So
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.

\lettrine{N}{aquele dia}, --- já lá vão dez anos! ---
o Dr. Félix levantou-se tarde, abriu a janela e
cumprimentou o sol.
O~dia estava esplêndido; uma fresca bafagem do mar
vinha quebrar um
pouco os ardores do estio; algumas raras nuvenzinhas
brancas, finas
e transparentes se destacavam no azul do céu.
Chilreavam na chácara
vizinha à casa do doutor algumas aves afeitas à vida
semi-urbana,
semi-silvestre que lhes pode oferecer uma chácara nas
Laranjeiras.
Parecia que toda a natureza colaborava na inauguração
do ano.
Aqueles para quem a idade já desfez o viço dos
primeiros tempos, não
se terão esquecido do fervor com que esse dia é
saudado na meninice
e na adolescência. Tudo nos parece melhor e mais belo,
--- fruto da
nossa ilusão, e alegres com vermos o ano que desponta,
não reparamos
que ele é também um passo para a morte.

Teria esta última idéia entrado no espírito de Félix,
ao contemplar
a magnificência do céu e os esplendores da luz? Certo
é que uma
nuvem ligeira pareceu toldar-lhe a fronte. Félix
embebeu os olhos no
horizonte e ficou largo tempo imóvel e absorto, como
se interrogasse
o futuro ou revolvesse o passado. Depois, fez um gesto
de tédio, e
parecendo envergonhado de se ter entregue à
contemplação interior de
alguma quimera, desceu rapidamente à prosa, acendeu um
charuto, e
esperou tranqüilamente a hora do almoço.

Félix entrava então nos seus trinta e seis anos, idade
em que muitos
já são pais de família, e alguns homens de Estado.
Aquele era apenas
um rapaz vadio e desambicioso. A~sua vida tinha sido
uma singular
mistura de elegia e melodrama; passara os primeiros
anos da mocidade
a suspirar por cousas fugitivas, e na ocasião em que
parecia
esquecido de Deus e dos homens, caiu-lhe nas mãos uma
inesperada
herança, que o levantou da pobreza. Só a Providência
possui o
segredo de não aborrecer com esses lances tão
estafados no teatro.

Félix conhecera o trabalho no tempo em que precisava
dele para
viver; mas desde que alcançou os meios de não pensar
no dia
seguinte, entregou-se corpo e alma à serenidade do
repouso. Mas
entenda-se --- que não era esse repouso aquela
existência apática e
vegetativa dos ânimos indolentes; era, se assim me
posso exprimir,
um repouso ativo, composto de toda a espécie de
ocupações elegantes
e intelectuais que um homem na posição dele podia ter.

Não direi que fosse bonito, na significação mais ampla
da palavra;
mas tinha as feições corretas, a presença simpática, e
reunia a
graça natural a apurada elegância com que vestia.
A~cor do rosto era
um tanto pálida, a pele lisa e fina. A~fisionomia era
plácida e
indiferente, mal alumiada por um olhar de ordinário
frio, e não
poucas vezes morto.

Do seu caráter e espírito melhor se conhecerá lendo
estas páginas e
acompanhando o herói por entre as peripécias da
singelíssima ação
que empreendo narrar. Não se trata aqui de um caráter
inteiriço nem
de um espírito lógico e igual a si mesmo; trata-se de
um homem
complexo, incoerente e caprichoso, em quem se reuniam
opostos
elementos, qualidades exclusivas, e defeitos
inconciliáveis.

  I downloaded today the ConTeXt version,
  and updated it, but the command \setupindenting
  stopped to function...
 
 A known bug, declare it twice and it should work.
