Well you could use pdftex via texexec to combine any PDF file, but you loose interactivity (and possibly increase filesize since pdftex, Ghostscript and Distiller create random font filename in order to work around a bug in AR (why didn't Adobe fix this bug...)). texexec --pdfarrange should be your friend (on the http://www.pragma-ade.com/ should be the documentation about texexec, but I cannot find it yet :-( Tobias ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

The size grows indeed, but when fonts are used that are mentioned in the map files, pdftex will do it's best to include them once and duplicates only the subset vectors. So, indeed files grow a bit. >texexec --pdfarrange should be your friend (on the >http://www.pragma-ade.com/ >should be the documentation about texexec, but I cannot find it yet :-( context -> texexec so texexec has it's own page Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Kind regards Sure. Take a look at the texexec manual. You can also use some low level macros (yet undocumented): %D ... %D %D One can (mis)use this mechanism, in close cooperation %D with \PDFTEX\ to arrange pages of already produced files. %D %D \starttypen %D \insertpages[file.pdf][1,3][n=30,width=18cm] %D \stoptypen %D %D The pages are inserted in the text area, and even pages %D are repositioned according to the width. In this example %D empty pages are added after page 1 and 3. %D %D Selecting pages can be accomplished by: %D %D \starttypen %D \filterpages[file.pdf][1,3,5][n=30,width=18cm] %D \stoptypen %D %D One may pass \type {odd} or \type {even} instead of a %D comma separated list. A third alternative is: %D %D \starttypen %D \copypages[file.pdf][n=30,scale=950] %D \stoptypen %D %D This macros inserts the page, according to the settings %D provided. %D Yet another way of postprocessing is handles by \type %D {\combinepages}. This macro builds a matrix of pages from a %D file, for example: %D %D \starttypen %D \setuppapersize %D [A4][A4] % or [A4,landscape][A4,landscape] %D %D \setuplayout %D [header=0pt,footer=1cm, %D backspace=1cm,topspace=1cm, %D width=middle,height=middle] %D %D \setupfootertexts %D [presentation---\currentdate\space---\space\pagenumber] %D %D \starttext %D \combinepages[slides][nx=2,ny=3,frame=on] %D \stoptext %D \starttypen %D %D One can influence the way the pages are combined. (This %D will be explained some time.) quoted from core-pag.tex, your favourite module btw -) Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
