PDF crop problem

PDF crop problem

[Anders Alstrin]

Hrmpf.
I got a problem with combining two pdf and maintain the original
"copypages" size.
The two dokuments are exacly the same size but my "\copypages" pdf seems
to be moved
1 cm to the left and then croped.
Like this:
______________
|  |                        |
|  |  doc2.pdf        |
|*=doc1.pdf        |
|_|____________|

I got a workaround to make "doc1.pdf" 1 cm smaler than doc2.pdf
but thats not nice.

\definepapersize[visit][width=8.5cm,height=5.4cm]
\setuppapersize[visit][visit]
\setuplayout[backspace=0pt,topspace=0pt,width=fit,height=fit,header=0pt,footer=0pt]

\starttext
\setupoutput[pdftex]

\defineoverlay
  [something]
  [{\externalfigure[v_mall.pdf]}]

\setupbackgrounds
   [page]
   [background=something]

\copypages
  [visit1.pdf]

\stoptext

This really depends on the originals. Is the original doublesided? If, so
you should compensate for it. Or you can play with: 

  \externalfigure[name.pdf][width=\overlaywidth,height=\overlayheight]

to scale isometric or 

  \externalfigure[name.pdf][factor=max]

to scale best fit
