What texexec actually does is: it creates a temporary TeX input file that starts with the \setuppaper, \setuplayout etc. implementing the options you have given on texexec's commandline. In the document body it then includes (every) page(s) of the pdf file(s) as an external image. This image is scaled and rotated etc. as needed. This process probably trashes the internal structure of the document. Greetings, Taco
