Apart from some restructuring low level pdftex primitives, which is not of much concern to context users, because the special drivers handle this, a nice extension is to pick up a page from a pdf file: \externalfigure[file.pdf][page=4,width=10cm] On top of this, I implemented \insertpages. When the new version of pdftex is stable and public, one can say (context is already prepared for that): texexec --pdfarrange --print=up --paper=a5a4 latexfile.pdf and get a nice booklet. In principle one can add all kind of other things because the full context machinery is there. additional keys are: --textwidth=dimension (needed when single sided documents are input), --topspace=dimension, --backspace==dimension, --pageoffset=dimension, --markings, so one can make slightly smaller pages and cut them off, compensate for a staple in thick ones etc. By providing more files, one can add titlepages and so. For context files, pleas use the normal mechanisms built in. texexec handles multiple filenames and makes it into one. Beware: you need a big tex (2 meg plus some extra_mem_bot/top will do). This feature is present in the file I uploaded thi smorning. The next release of context will bring multiple images (low res screen, high res printing). Beware, you need pdftex-e, so be patient for some days.
