> texexec --pdfarrange --paper=a5a4 --2up yourfile.pdf
I tried a few experiments with no luck. Not sure if it's a context or
texexec problem, or my confusion. I made the multi-page p5.pdf from
\setuppapersize[A4][A4]
\starttext
\dorecurse{50}{
\input tufte
}
\stoptext
Then I ran 'texexec --pdfarrange --paper=a5a4 p5.pdf' (the --2up
doesn't change the error below) and got this error:
! Missing number, treated as zero.

texexec is doing the arranging by making the following 'texexec.tex'
file and then, I think, running texexec on it:
\definepapersize
[offset=a5a4]
\setuplayout
[backspace=0cm,
topspace=0cm,
width=middle,
height=middle,
location=middle,
header=0pt,
footer=0pt]
\setuppagenumbering
[alternative=doublesided]
\starttext
\insertpages
[p5.pdf]
[width=0cm]
\stoptext
The 'offset=a5a4' is upsetting Context; according to texshow-web on
the garden, the offset should be a dimension. Also, I couldn't find
(using grep) the string 'a5a4' in the context sources.
