Hi Adam,

I tested your code both with mkii and mkiv, and everything seems to work correctly, both with frame= on or off.
As a matter of fact, I learned from the piece of your code

\setuppapersize
 [A4][A4] % or [A4,landscape][A4,landscape]

\setuplayout
 [header=0pt,footer=1cm,backspace=1cm,topspace=1cm,width=middle,height=middle]

\setupfootertexts
 [presentation---\currentdate\space---\space\pagenumber]

\starttext
 \combinepages[slides][nx=2,ny=3,frame=on]
% or
%  \combinepages[slides.pdf][nx=2,ny=3,frame=on]
\stoptext

that independently of the SimpleSlides module one can combine any PDF file in a handout… Thanks very much! 
I added on the wiki a page for this:

Best regards: OK

I'm trying to make some (mkiv) handouts from my simpleslides presentation.
Unfortunately the resulting pdf is blank for the slides, no frames either. Can someone give me an example that works?

So I just ran tested it with mkii, and there it works.
Is there any mkiv way for doing a handout?

Adam
