Hello, this is just an announcement and maybe a proposal.
I needed to copy all pages from a .pdf file into the document.
The pages to be copied were a mix of A4 and A3 pages, with portrait and
landscape orientation.
Also, I needed to suppress current header & footer and to use the whole page
area, like with \setuplayout[page].
I tried various combination of \filterpages, \copypages and \externalfigure -
nothing the the whole desired effect.
Finally, I created the following snippet:
----
\startluacode
function copyPages(fn)
local fig = figures.push{name = fn}
figures.identify()
figures.check()
local n = fig.used.pages
figures.pop()
for i = 1, n do
context.startTEXpage()
context.externalfigure({fn}, {page = i})
context.stopTEXpage()
end
end
\stopluacode
\starttext
%\externalfigure[tt.pdf][page=3]
\directlua{copyPages("tt.pdf")}
\stoptext
----
It seems to work;
but it might be better to add an option to an existing command, e.g. \copypages (e.g.
"preservecurrentpagesize" and/or "autosize" and/or "fullpage") to achieve the
same effect.
Best regards,
Lukas
