Hello, everybody
In page 8 of the mtexexec manual we can see the following command:
texexec --pdfarrange --paper=A5A4 --print=up live.pdf
If I try it with a PDF file, for example,
texexec --pdfarrange --paper=A5A4 --print=up --print gri.pdf
I get an error message:
! Missing number, treated as zero.

Hi,
In the meantime the paper command option is --paperformat=A4A5.
in my opinion the print command option is --print=2up

It shouldn't matter (2up vs up). The tex.rb script has this:
case getvariable('printformat')
when '' then arrangement << "\\v!normal"
when /.*up/oi then arrangement << ["2UP","\\v!rotated"]
when /.*down/oi then arrangement << ["2DOWN","\\v!rotated"]
when /.*side/oi then arrangement << ["2SIDE","\\v!rotated"]
end
So --printformat looks whether 'up', 'down', or 'side' is given as the
key and then chooses 2UP, 2DOWN, or 2SIDE accordingly.

It needs to be given as '--paperformat'. I'm pretty sure '--paper'
gets disambiguated as --paperoffset, so ConTeXt looks for a dimension
but gets "A5A4", and then complains about a missing number.
