pdftex gives much smaller files than dvips+ps2pdf. I therefore wanted to
know if it was possible to do it all with one package. I need to be sure
though that the page layouts are exactly the same in all documents!

I did read that manual, but I could not find how to produce versions two
and three.
I could get the the first version, but not the second and third. After a
long search on the net I found the answer to getting the third in a file
called 'pdftex-t.tex':
texexec --pdfarrange --paper=a5a4 --print=up myfile
I definately need more exaples to learn from (prefferably examples with
the dutch interface). I also found that I might need to upgrade my context
package (Using the one included in tetex 1.06 now).

It makes a difference if you get your copy in MS word format. I means that
you would have to convert all your input files. For testing I've used
'sed' the stream editor to convert the input files. It has become quite
unreadable: 'Hyvää pääsiäistä' becomes 'Hyv\"a\"a p\"a\"asti\"aist\"a'!
Any other suggestions. If I just insert eight bit characters they do not
appear in the output. Which setting would I need to change?

I cannot find examples on how to use clickable URLs in my PDF file, which
is something that I would also need.
