Colleagues
A friend of mine asked me to produce a small book of three of her short
stories for FeedARead.com from a word document. On looking at the site
I suggested I do a conversion to pdf since it would look much better and
FeedARead recommend uploading pdf over word as well. So I set about
using Context to produce a simple pdf for upload using the structure below:
\definepapersize[leela][width=5in, height=8in]
\setuppapersize[leela][leela]
\setuplayout[backspace=0.75in,cutspace=0.5in,width=fit]
\setupindenting[yes,medium,next]
\setuppagenumbering[state=stop]
\setupexternalfigures[location={local,default}]
\setupalign[nonhyphenated]
\setuphead[section-3][number=no,align=middle][alternative=doublesided,location=footer]
\setuptolerance[vertical,verystrict]
\setuptolerance[horizontal,verytolerant]
\starttext
\midaligned{\tfd{Title Page}}
\page
FeedAReed blurb and copyright notice goes here.
\setupcombinedlist[content][list={chapter,section,subsection}]
\completecontent
\page[empty]
\setuppagenumbering[state=start,alternative=doublesided,location=footer]
\startsection[title={Knuth}]
\input knuth\par
\stopsection
\page
\startsection[title={Zapf}]
\input zapf\par
\stopsection
\page
\startsection[title={Tufte}]
\input tufte\par
\stopsection
\stoptext
As you can see it's nothing fancy but is produces nice copy. However,
when my friend uploaded to FeedARead she received back this comment:
/Please note that you have uploaded TWO pages of your book per one 5
inch wide x 8 inch high page e.g. on your file there would be two book
pages of print per page and not one per page as required./
I did notice that when viewed in Adobe Reader, V11.0.6, it displays two
pages on the screen at a time but on checking the documents properties
it shows the correct page size so I thought it was OK. I've had a look
on the wiki but haven't found anything obviously wrong in what I've done
above. Is their something I'm missing in \definepapersize or
\setuppapersize? I really don't want to have to tell her to upload the
word doc.
Thanks and Best Wishes
Keith
