Hi there,
I would like to use the imposition capabilities from ConTeXt to be able
to print a PDF book in a standard laser printer. To save paper, I use
the 2UP arranging option thanks to this code from the wiki:
\definepapersize [filius][width=135.9mm, height=231.8mm]
\setuppapersize [filius][A4,landscape]
\setuparranging [2UP,doublesided]
\setuplayout [backspace=0pt,
topspace=0pt,
width=middle,
height=middle,
location=middle,
header=0pt,
footer=0pt,
grid=no, marking=off]
\starttext
\filterpages[ZittrainTheFutureoftheInternet.pdf][4:351][height=21cm]
\stoptext
The PDF file can be downloaded from
http://futureoftheinternet.org/static/ZittrainTheFutureoftheInternet.pdf.
The issue here is that I get a resulting paper size with the filius
height and not with 21cm from A4.
I have tried have the output in a standard A4 paper size, but all that I
got is a scaled down PDF. I would like to avoid scaling the document if
that were possible.
Is there any way, given the example above, to impose the filius paper
size on a real landscape A4 without having to scale down the PDF document?
Thanks for your help,
Pablo

So there is no way other than to scale the original pages down to a height of 210mm. For this action you can use something like The following code in a tex-file. \definepapersize[Mypaper][height=210mm,width=123mm] \setuppapersize [Mypaper][Mypaper] \setuplayout [page] \starttext \copypages [input.pdf] [scale=905, offset=0pt] \stoptext The resulting pdf-file should then be arranged. However I would suggest not to use 2UP. Arranging the whole file (351 pages) with 2UP results in a rather thick single booklet of 88 A4-sheets. What you can try is to setup arranging as follows (untested). Put this code into an environment file e.g. arrange.tex \definepapersize[Mypaper][height=210mm,width=123mm] %\definepapersize [offset=15pt] \setuppapersize [Mypaper][A4,portrait] \setuplayout [backspace=0pt, topspace=0pt, width=middle, height=middle, %location=middle, header=0pt, footer=0pt] \setuppagenumbering[location=,alternative=doublesided] \setuparranging[2*2*4] \starttext \insertpages[input-scaled.pdf][width=0pt] \stoptext On the commandline call conTeXt as follows texmfstart texexec --pdfarrange --environments=arrange -- result=output.pdf input-scaled.pdf I hope this helps Willi On Jan 18, 2009, at 8:05 PM, Pablo Rodríguez wrote: > Hi there, > > I would like to use the imposition capabilities from ConTeXt to be > able > to print a PDF book in a standard laser printer.

What I thought possible was to center the imposed pages both vertically and horizontally to define smaller paper dimension where some content beyond the page boundaries (which actually would be empty because of the page margins). In the attached image, it is shown what I intend in the upper figure and what I get in the lower figure.

Willi told you everything else - and apparently you missed to describe your actual problem, that's more a matter of clipping than of imposition. Sorry, can't help you with that. Perhaps you can utilize a tool like pdftrim? Or define your paper height as max. 210mm at all - if you need it in trimmed & imposed form as well as as single pages, consider modes with different layouts. If you try to impose a non-ConTeXt PDF, I'd look after placement options of \filterpages. Greetlings from Lake Constance!
