How to insert a full page pdf.

How to insert a full page pdf.

[John R. Culleton]

I need to insert some example pages from one document into
another. Both are 8.5 x 11. 

I have read the old posts about \startTEXpage etc. and looked at
the source code. But I still have a few questions:
1. Can I select e.g., just page 2 from the external document to
insert in my document? How?

2. Does Context automatically bump its page counter to compensate
for the inserted page or pages, or do I have to adjust it after
each such insertion?

TIA

I'm no expert, but here's the way I do it:

\externalfigure[filename][page=2]

Then, I adjust the clipping to -- for instance -- get rid of the page
number of the inserted `figure', as well as of its top and left margins.

\clip [ voffset=1.25in, % clip the topmost part of the inserted page
        hoffset=1.5in,  % clip the left margin of the inserted page
        height=9in,     % clip the bottom of the inserted page
        width=5.1in]    % clip the right margin
      {\externalfigure[filename][page=2]}}

And, if you like, you can put all this into a \midaligned{}.

Well, if you treat the inserted PDF page as a figure, the page number of
your main document won't be affected. Just clip the page number (if any)
which lies on the inserted PDF page.

Also can help to specify width and height and factor

\externalfigure[filename][page=2,width..,height=.., factor=..]


See
http://texshow.contextgarden.net/
and search for \externalfigure

Actually it seems to me that inclusion doesn't manage things like 
comments etc.

You can refer to this external doc and include the needed pages as floats:

\externalfigure[cursus-pdf][page=1,width=...].

Probably also
\startTEXpage
	\externalfigure[cursus-pdf][page=1,width=...]
\stopTEXpage

works (untested).

if included as float there is no risk that the pagenumbering dos not work.

Kind regards
Willi

As a low end user, I've tryed numerous solutions, those ones below are 
working in evey cases for me, hope same for you :

    inserting all the 25 pages of a 25 pages pdf :

    \getfiguredimensions[25pages.pdf]            
    \dorecurse{\noffigurepages}{\externalfigure[25pages.pdf][width=\textwidth,height=\textheight,offset=-1cm][page=\recurselevel]}


    inserting one (the 16th) page of a 25 pages pdf :

        \getfiguredimensions[25pages.pdf]
       {\externalfigure[25pages.pdf] 
[width=\textwidth,height=\textheight,offset=-1cm][page=16]}
