What am I doing wrong? I don't know if what you did is supposed to work or not, but I assume it is. That leaves the possibility that Adobe's "transparent" is not properly understood by pdftex. I normally convert such images to png with alpha, that works fine for screen and (laser)print. For professional applications, you may run into trouble with color conversions, but that is true for most pdf(tex) output that contains any kind of transparency.

I can't read pdftex.pool; bad path?* This could be bad, but it is unrelated to metapost. If you context still runs ok, I would not worry about it, since it seems metafun is the only format that was correctly regenerated. It could be that ctxtools somehow only understands about pdftex 1.40 (whose executable name for pdfetex is now once again renamed to pdftex) Hans can no doubt explain what happens here better than I can.

[NTG-context] bad page break
All, We have a situation where we want to put in a page break to move some text at the bottom of the page to the next page. However, there is a float that hasn't been typeset yet, so the result of \page[yes] is to put the float at the top of a blank page, then page again to continue the running text. Anyway around this? ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] Header problem in project
Hans et all, We have a project call book.tex, a product in that called chapter1.tex, and a component in that called section1exercises.tex. We have blocks that we save and then place at the end of section1exercises.tex with a macro defined in our environment file: \def\placeanswers{% \bgroup \doifmodeelse{short} { \keepblocks[shortsubanswer,longsubanswer] \answers{Answers}\vskip 1em\startcolumnset[answers] \selectblocks[shortanswer][criterium=section] \stopcolumnset } { \def\headermarkleft{{\sc Chapter \headnumber[chapter]}} \def\headermarkright{{\sc{}Section \headnumber[section]}} \setupheadertexts[][\headermarkright][\headermarkleft][] \keepblocks[shortsubanswer,longsubanswer] \answers{Solutions}\vskip 1em \selectblocks[longanswer][criterium=section] } \egroup } The else part of the do above is an attempt to define a different header when we compile with --mode=long, but just for the pages on which we use \placeanswers. The other pages have a different header defined in the environment file. Those headers have page numbers as well with: \def\headermarkleft{\bold{\pagenumber}\headerskip{\sc\headerskip Chapter \headnumber[chapter]\headerskip\getmarking[chapter][current]}} \def\headermarkright{{\sc{}Section \headnumber[section]\headerskip \getmarking[section][current]}\headerskip\bold{\pagenumber}} The file section1exercises ends like this: %%% ENDTESTBANK %%% \stopquestions \placeanswers\kern0pt \stopcomponent When we compile section1exercises.tex with texmfstart texexec -- mode=long section1exercises, all is well until the last page, where the former header is used instead of the header defined in the \placeanswers macro. But we want to finish out the document from the point we put the \placeanswers with the second header.
