That would work. The problem I have is that I don't know where to split the pdf file (but I know where to split the context file). The input file looks like \input art1 \input art2 ... \input art_n \page[YES] % split book here \input art_n+1 ... I just don't know how to get the pagenumber in the pdf file after the \page[YES] command. If there was a way to have the actual pagenumber printed to some log file (or stdout), I already would be happy. Sorry if I haven't been clear in my previous post. BTW - if you don't mind some commercial advertising - we're using context to generate books from wikipedia articles in our new service pediapress (http://pediapress.com). We currently don't have a 'credits' page, but Hans certainly belongs there.
