Try this (can be mixed in one document): \setupoutput[pdftex] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=screen] \starttext \setuppapersize[S4][A4] \setuplayout[location=middle] A centered page on A4. \page \setuppapersize[S4][A4] \setuplayout[location={top,left}] Moved to the top. \page \setuppapersize[S4][S4] A typical screen page. \page \setuppapersize[S4][A4] \setuplayout[scale=1.5] Scaled. \page \setuppapersize[S4][A4,landscape] \setuplayout[scale=2] Landscaped and scaled. \stoptext [[ Acro 4 has quite some more 'boxes' like printbox. When I find myself some spare time, I'll implement support for this. It's one way to get rid of navigational menus. ]] > Oh, Ghostscript spits the dummy completely so I'm more or less forced to > use Acroread. I get the same results on Solaris and IRIX. Hm.
