Replace 'page' with the name of your document.
\setuplayout[page]
\starttext
\getfiguredimensions[pages]
\dorecurse\noffigurepages
{\hbox to \textwidth
{\ifodd\recurselevel
\hskip-2cm\externalfigure[pages][page=\recurselevel]\hss
\else
\hskip-1cm\externalfigure[pages][page=\recurselevel]\hss
\fi}}

Thanks Wolfgang, I got that to work perfectly. I had to fiddle around with
it, I put the result on the Wiki
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Including_pages_from_PDF_document
(Please move/amend as appropriate)
% replace Manual with the name of your original pdf
\define\MySingleSidedDocument{Manual}
% can adjust topspace to move page etc
\setuplayout[\MySingleSidedDocument,topspace=1cm,header=0cm,backspace=0cm]
% suppress page numbering
\setuppagenumbering[location=]
\starttext
\getfiguredimensions[\MySingleSidedDocument]
\dorecurse\noffigurepages
{\hbox to \textwidth
{\ifodd\recurselevel
%adjust number to set odd page horizontal position
\hskip-0.1cm\externalfigure[\MySingleSidedDocument][page=\recurselevel]\hss
\else
%adjust number to set even page horizontal position
\hskip-1.8cm\externalfigure[\MySingleSidedDocument][page=\recurselevel]\hss

[NTG-context] Using texexec to prepare single-sided PDF for double-sided printing
Hi, I would like to use texexec to post-process a large pdf file, so as to prepare it for double sided printing. The existing file has a large left hand margin on each page, so as to allow binding. I would like to change this so that odd (right) pages have a large left margin, and even (left) pages a large right margin. I don't want to put 2 pages on one output sheet - although the ability to fine-tune the scaling might be useful. I have experimented with plenty of combinations of texexec --pdfarrange ...but I am not getting anywhere. Any suggestions appreciated. I am on debian and there are plenty of other pdf tools, but none of these seem quite right either. It would seem a common enough requirement but nothing quite works! Thanks, -- John Devereux ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
