Hi all,

I just created a new mirror of www.pragma-ade.com. It is part of my brand new
website on ConTeXt. The mirror is updated every night  at 3am CET.

[NTG-context] Checking "inslag-schema"

[Ron van Ostayen]

Hi all,

My thesis will partially be printed in duo-tone.
In order to reduce the printing costs, I'm trying to reduce the number 
of colored sides of sheets of paper.

The printer uses "katernen" of 32 pages, so he prints 16 pages on each 
side of a sheet of paper.

I have a pdf-file with my thesis (a4 format).
How do I arrange and scale the pages, so I can check where the colored 
pictures are going?

I've started using:

texexec --pdfarrange --print=2*16 thesis.pdf

and this produces a file with the correct (I think) pages on each sheet 
but they are not scaled?

Thanks,


Ron van Ostayen

just add: --paper=A4A2 or so, and then look into the produced texexec.tex 
file for tuning

Is the thesis typeset in context? If so, you can better arrange directly 
(see big manual). Also, the current version permits you to make the 
separations (yet undocumented, working on that)

OK. I've got a tex-file which produces 8x32 page "katernen".
However, my thesis consists of 248 pages.

Occording to my printer these pages will probably be printed as:
6x32 page katernen (What *is* the english term?)
1x16 page katern
1x8  page katern
1x32 page katern

Is there a way to define this complex page-arrangement in a tex-file, so 
I can check the color pictures?

it's kind of tricky to change arrangements mid document

so i would create 4 files and use texexec --pdfselect --selection=n:m to 
split these files into parts

I would use "imposition sheet" -- in german it's "Form/Ausschießform" or 
"Bogen/Falzbogen".
