Hi Pablo,
The problem is that the filius-page is higher than the width of an
A4. So there is no way other than to scale the original pages down to
a height of 210mm. For this action you can use something like
The following code in a tex-file.
\definepapersize[Mypaper][height=210mm,width=123mm]
\setuppapersize
[Mypaper][Mypaper]
\setuplayout
[page]
\starttext
\copypages
[input.pdf]
[scale=905,
offset=0pt]
\stoptext
The resulting pdf-file should then be arranged. However I would
suggest not to use 2UP. Arranging the whole file (351 pages) with
2UP results in a rather thick single booklet of 88 A4-sheets. What
you can try is to setup arranging as follows (untested). Put this
code into an environment file e.g. arrange.tex
\definepapersize[Mypaper][height=210mm,width=123mm]
%\definepapersize [offset=15pt]
\setuppapersize
[Mypaper][A4,portrait]
\setuplayout
[backspace=0pt,
topspace=0pt,
width=middle,
height=middle,
%location=middle,
header=0pt,
footer=0pt]
\setuppagenumbering[location=,alternative=doublesided]
\setuparranging[2*2*4]
\starttext
\insertpages[input-scaled.pdf][width=0pt]
\stoptext
On the commandline call conTeXt as follows
texmfstart texexec --pdfarrange --environments=arrange --
result=output.pdf input-scaled.pdf
I hope this helps

Hi there,
I would like to use the imposition capabilities from ConTeXt to be
able
to print a PDF book in a standard laser printer. To save paper, I
use the 2UP arranging option thanks to this code from the wiki:
\definepapersize [filius][width=135.9mm, height=231.8mm]
\setuppapersize [filius][A4,landscape]
\setuparranging [2UP,doublesided]
\setuplayout [backspace=0pt,
topspace=0pt,
width=middle,
height=middle,
location=middle,
header=0pt,
footer=0pt,
grid=no, marking=off]
\starttext
\filterpages[ZittrainTheFutureoftheInternet.pdf][4:351][height=21cm]
\stoptext
The PDF file can be downloaded from
http://futureoftheinternet.org/static/
ZittrainTheFutureoftheInternet.pdf.
The issue here is that I get a resulting paper size with the filius
height and not with 21cm from A4.
I have tried have the output in a standard A4 paper size, but all
that I got is a scaled down PDF. I would like to avoid scaling the
document if that were possible.
Is there any way, given the example above, to impose the filius
paper size on a real landscape A4 without having to scale down the
PDF document?
Thanks for your help,
Pablo
