I am using the latest tetex distribution under >Solaris UNIX. Having puzzled with the configuration and installation >(texexec --make) I hope to have succeeded at least with this. Texexec should run ok. The main thing left to do is to uncomment the context format lines in the tetex config file. >Now using the pdfarrange option for example like > >> texexec --pdfarrange --paper=a5a4 grfguide.pdf If you want a booklet, add --print=up >prioduces an document with the approbiate number of (virtual) pages, well >arranged (even with the --addempy option) BUT there is always the first >page repeated. How do you mean repeated? >Using a document like pdftex-a.pdf I get in addition an error message > > Error (1024) PDF version 1.3 -- xpdf supports version 1.2 (continuing > anyway This means that there is a pdf 1.3 option used (probably the resource in the mirrored page is not recognized). Normally this does not hurt, and some day the xpdf libraries will catch up. >Or with cont-nlp.pdf there are only the first six pages processed ... Hm. I uses perl to determine the nof pages, which is a wild guess in some way. Since pdftex can do report this too (you need a recent version, say 14e) I adapted the responsible macros and texexec to this. More safe for balanced and optimized documents. You may try the latest version (with texexec 2.1). >With some other big document I got an error after the around 60th page. This should not happen. Maybe a pdftex bug?
