Rearranging existing A5 => A4

Rearranging existing A5 => A4

[Markus Finke]

Hello,

I have a ready document in A5 and want to rearrange selected pages next 
to each other on A4 (homeprinter, proofreading).

In LaTeX I was using »pdfpages«, e.g.:

\usepackage[final]{pdfpages}
\begin{document}
\includepdf[pages={42,1-41},landscape,nup=1x2,scale=1.005]{my.pdf}
\end{document}

Is something like this possible in ConTeXt?

TIA!

I don't have the knowledge to translate your specific \includepdf
to the ConTeXt equivalent, but good places to start are probably

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Imposition

This works for me (and I'd better go and revise that bit of the
Imposition page on the wiki...):

\setuppapersize[A5][A4] %individual page A5 size, print size A4
\setuparranging[2SIDE,rotated] %2 pages side by side, rotated to
landscape to fit portrait A4
\setuplayout
  [backspace=0pt,
    topspace=0pt,
       width=middle,
      height=middle,
    location=middle,
      header=0pt,
      footer=0pt]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]

\starttext

% \insertpages
\filterpages
  [pr-33-gp.pdf][2,5,16:19][width=0pt]

\stoptext

[Markus Finke]

\filterpages was my »missing link« –
                                      thank you all for your reply!
