Subject: Merging PDF document of various page sizes. Can ConTeXt help?
Date: Fri, 13 Jan 2012 16:20:36 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5D57E44F-9089-46FA-81D2-2CDFCB80675B@rna.nl> (raw)

Hello community,

I have the following problem. I need to create a single PDF file where each page may have a different size and orientation. Say the first page is A4 portrait, the second is A3 landscape and so on. Can ConTeXr help? Each page contains a PDF image of some random size that is inserted.

I have been looking around for a solution but haven't found one. I also tried Create.app, the drawing program. And I tried a program call PDF Merge and some others. Neither of these work, and most of the merge programs out there maybe merged, but changed the nice vector images into pixel images, completely destroying print quality.

So, I am back where I started. Is there some fancy ConTeXt trickery I could use to do this?

Summary:
- One PDF as result
- Each page has a different size and orientation
- Each page contains a PDF vector image that is not to be converted to pixels

Yours,

G
