Hi Aditya,
thanks for your reply and sorry for my late reply, I've been kidnapped
by another work...
I'd go with the layer solution.
But I don't know to insert a layer for each pdf page.
Could you please provide some hints?
Thanks a lot
Best

Ok, let's reformulate partially
If I have:
\setuppapersize[A4]
\setuppagenumbering[location=left, state=start]
\starttext
\copypages[pdf/Test.pdf][scale=1000]
\stoptext
Looking at the resulting pdf, it seems that the original pdf is
mirrored (apart from half a line at the bottom of the paper,
trunked).
Ok. But there are not page numbers (I guess they are coverd by the
imported pdf)
You can add a layer on top and set page numbers in the layer.
Now, so sum up my problem is:
- given a certain number of A4 pdf
- how to collect them in a unique pdf
- with successive page numbers
- and with refs, so that I can automagically create a TOC
For a quick solution, you can try the cut-n-paste module[1]. It does
not create a TOC, so you will have to do that by hand (or a helper
macro).
\usemodule[cut-n-paste]
\newcount\colledpages
\definecutNpaste[collection]
[n=1,text={\setups[page]},location=(OverlayWidth/2,1cm)]
\startsetups[page]
\doglobal\increment{\collectedpages}%
\collectedpages
\stopsetups
\starttext
\processcollection[name=paper1.pdf]
\processcollection[name=paper2.pdf]
\processcollection[name=paper3.pdf]
\stoptext
The location of the text is controled by the location key. This can
be any valid metapost coordinate.
The module is actually meant for convert two column pdfs to one
column pdfs (for reading on an ebook device), so it an overkill for
just merging pages. You can however control how many pages to
insert, (using start and stop keys), and draw a grid on the page
(grid=yes), and trim the page (more complicated).
But, as I said earlier, the simplest way is to just insert the page
number in a layer.
