Hi List,
I have a booklet typset on A5 paper with an A5 pagesize (one page per
sheet). The printer-shop wants the pages enlarged to A4, so that they
can scale them back down to A5 and imposition 2 on an A4 sheet. Don't
ask me why they want this. I don't know.
Is it possible to easily do this from within context or what are my
options?
Any help would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Olaf

just impose with context and give them A4 (direct imposition or by using texexec)

What Hans said, or (just in case they really do not know what to do):
\setuppapersize[A4][A4]
\setuplayout[page]
\starttext
\copypages[booklet.pdf][scale=1414]
\stoptext
They probably missed the "Expand small pages to paper size" setting in
the print dialog of the Acrobat Reader, though.
Cheers, Taco
