Re: [NTG-context] The ConTeXt Companion

2007/4/14, Idris Samawi Hamid [EMAIL PROTECTED]: As for MKII/pdfTeX1, it makes no sense making a book for a stalled branch; debian users will continue to use pdfTeX1 for at least 10 years, I fear. :-) Best Martin

Re: [NTG-context] printing problem

2007/3/6, Alan Bowen [EMAIL PROTECTED]: How do I preflight the document and where is the latest pdftex? (Is it not in the latest ConTeXt?) Get the last TeX Live (http://www.tug.org/tex-live/); the ConTeXt in it is quite recent. Best Martin ___

Re: [NTG-context] Enabling PDF comments with ConTeXt

Re: [NTG-context] problem with pdftex-1.40.1 and Gentium ligatures

2007/2/5, luigi scarso [EMAIL PROTECTED]: This seem to be fixed with 1.40.3 release of pdftex . This _is_ fixed and the only reason for 1.40.3. :-} Best Martin ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl

Re: [NTG-context] problem with pdftex-1.40.1 and Gentium ligatures

2007/2/2, Johan Sandblom [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Sorry, neglected to mention (it was long ago and I had forgotten), I installed it with texfont Btw: The -recorder switch of pdftex/web2c (don't know how to use that with texexec) will write a list of all files used by pdftex (including fonts) to a

2007/1/18, Michal Kvasnicka [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Excuse me this off-topic, I don't know where should I ask. The pdftex mailing list would be a better place. See http://www.pdftex.org/README [...] Can anybody tell me what's wrong, and if there is a ghostscript version capable to view the output

Re: [NTG-context] HZ and DVI

2007/1/13, Sanjoy Mahajan [EMAIL PROTECTED]: xpdf is fast but it won't watch the file. As far as I know, the only pdf viewer that watches the file, at least on Linux, is gv (ghostscript). If you find another, let me know. As I already wrote: kpdf. Check out evince, if you are using gnome.

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt ver: 2007.01.12 15:56 and including PDFs

2007/1/13, Alan Bowen [EMAIL PROTECTED]: It does not seem to have any observable impact on the typeset product however. I think it can be safely ignored. All the features in PDF 1.6 1.7 should be handled by pdftex's pdf inclusion. Best Martin ___

Re: [NTG-context] HZ and DVI

2007/1/9, Hans Hagen [EMAIL PROTECTED]: acrobat is rather convenient and i use it all day; i haven't touched a dvi viewer this milenium Only when texdoc presents me with a dvi. :-) I tend to use kpdf more than AR now; it's faster and watches files. Best Martin

Re: [NTG-context] [Fwd: [pdftex] pdftex 1.40]

2007/1/3, Sanjoy Mahajan [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Maybe I missing a trick, but the draftmode didn't save much time. I guess I should make the test file read in a few huge images? Yes. And if you then generate PDF 1.5 with object stream and compression, you can gain much. I have a test case which

Re: [NTG-context] [Fwd: [pdftex] pdftex 1.40]

2007/1/3, Aditya Mahajan [EMAIL PROTECTED]: which makes be believe that it will not work for normal cases. However, how about adding a switch to texexec, say --draft, which will run the document in draftmode until no more runs are needed, and will then run a final typesetting run without the

Re: [NTG-context] \ifshellescape

2006/12/26, Peter Münster [EMAIL PROTECTED]: There is such a command in pdfTeX-1.40 but I don't remember the name (I think it's \ifshellescape). It's new in 1.30: - \pdfshellescape is a read-only integer that is 1 if \write18 is enabled, 0 otherwise. Best Martin

Re: [NTG-context] \ifshellescape

Re: [NTG-context] Can ConTeXt make dynamic barcoded forms?

2006/10/10, Henning Hraban Ramm [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I can think of 3 possibilities for a static barcodes module: - draw the bars with MetaPost - use psTricks/pdfTricks - call GNU barcode externally - use barcode fonts (makes no sense...) That would be interesting for price tags, ISBN or the

Re: [NTG-context] Can ConTeXt make dynamic barcoded forms?

2006/10/11, Zhichu Chen [EMAIL PROTECTED]: By the way, I have another question: how can we make reader-extension pdfs? I mean we can save, add anotations, etc., using Adobe Reader 7 or above. It is another cool function. That is protected by DRM from Adobe; you need software from Adobe for

2006/10/1, Robert Kroon [EMAIL PROTECTED]: v2.09 as text editor. When I generate output with the pdftex default script I get a pdf-file with poor letter quality (thick p's and t's and j's). Also the combination of the characters ij are shown as .. in the pdf-file. When I switch to the default

Re: [NTG-context] infinite paper height
