Hi,
I am trying to include a single test page in my document. The
following code fails to set the PDF as the background layer for the
cover page. I've tried several variations
(http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Including_pages_from_PDF_documents),
but nothing works. It seems to be a problem with this specific PDF
being included.
The code:
-- 8< --
\def\PictureFrontCover{http://www.education.gov.yk.ca/pdf/pdf-test.pdf}
\definelayer[page:CoverPicture][
x=0mm,y=0mm,width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight,
]
% Set the layer content to be an image that is scaled to fit the page.
\setlayer[page:CoverPicture]{%
\externalfigure[\PictureFrontCover][
width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight,
]
}
\starttext
\startfrontmatter
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=page:CoverPicture]
\startstandardmakeup
\stopstandardmakeup
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=]
\stopfrontmatter
\startbodymatter
Hello world!
\stopbodymatter
\stoptext
-- 8< --
Thoughts?

Mh, is there a resolver for http-adresses in ConTeXt? I guess if you use
a local file path, things should work as expected (not tested).

sure there is ... already for many years
(as luigi mentioned, the pdf is bugged so it depends on how good a pdf
handler can recover)

I see. Never tried, never needed it. But I guess I was naive to assume
the lack of such a feature.. ;-)

Yes, the PDF is encrypted; it is only displayable, but not changeable or embeddable.
