I had an order form made up of two text blocks with a table in the middle. It compiled fine so long as I left the main body of my document out. When I brought body.tex in to the run then the table portion started giving errors. So I set up a special run which generated just that page in a pdf file. However I didn't want to shrink it as Hans suggested, and Context doesn't usually cater to a full-page graphic nor does it let one pick an origin point as such. I finally found a way to move the origin point and then brought the pdf into the page. I fooled with \inmargin, \rput (pstricks), \kern,\leftskip and about half the commands in the plain tex vocabulary. Here is a solution that works, bringing in a page size graphic and placing it properly on my page: \startstandardmakeup[doublesided=yes] \vglue -1in \hglue -.65in\externalfigure[order.pdf] \stopstandardmakeup This has broader potential for assembling multiple pdf pages into a single document. The glue sizes are of course document dependent. -- John Culleton Able Typesetters and Indexers http://wexfordpress.com
