Damage of installation of context mkiv

Damage of installation of context mkiv

[Jaroslav Hajtmar]

Hallo all,

When I tried to update the new version of ConTeXt into texlive 2009 
(uploading new files to BIN directory and run commands ctxtools 
--update, texexec --make --all and luatools --generate), then ConTeXt 
MKIV stopped working and I failed to return original state. What 
happened and how to fix??
I get this message, when I run context:

MTXrun | forcing cache reload
MTXrun | resolvers: warning: no lua configuration files found
MTXrun | resolvers
MTXrun | resolvers
MTXrun | the resolver databases are not present or outdated
MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua'
MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua'
MTXrun | resolvers: remembering file 'mtx-context.lua'
MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua'
MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'


Thanx, Jaroslav

it should be enough to do

mtxrun --generate

did you move texmfcnf.lua to the right web2c dir?

No, I only copy new files to BIN directory and run uptate commands (I 
use Win 7 and TL2009)

It is interesting that even though I back up the entire WIN32 directory, 
so after I had returned to its original state, so it just does not work...

the current mkiv can best be taken from the minimals ... just a separate 
tree independent of texlive

Images missing from PDF when created by Adobe

[Tom]

Needing to create PDF/X-1a:2001 files to satisfy a particularly persnickety
printer, I downloaded the 30-day free trial of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro today. It
seems to work OK when "printed" to from Scribus but I'm having trouble with
my Context output.

Using TexLive MKII, I can create a PDF that looks great directly from it,
unfortunately it isn't PDF/X-1a:2001. texexec mytexfile --dvi readily
produces a dvi file but I don't know if it's any good. dvips mytexfile VERY
quickly produces as postscript file. Acrobat quickly converts the .ps file
to a PDF without displaying error message. However, all the images are
missing from the PDF that Acrobat creates. Is there a special setting
required for it to pick up the images?

Re: Images missing from PDF when created by Adobe

[Tom]

Here's an update to my question.

I found DVIOUT and viewed the dvi file. It is missing the images. Why would
Context put the images in the PDF it creates and not the DVI?

I made NO source code changes between running

>texexec mytexfile

and

>texexec mytexfile --dvi

In PDF mode TeX can use images in pdf, png, jpg and jbig format but in 
dvi mode
it can only use images in eps format.

Thanks, Wolfgang. I never would have considered this to be the problem.
Converting the first image to eps made it work. Should PostScript Level 2
and Encapsulated PostScript be selected when converting the images in Gimp?

Does MKIV require the same image formats as MKII? Is this all an artifact of
some early incarnation of Context?

There's a LaTeX package which will create .pdfs conformant to that specification --- perhaps the code could be ported over?

If not, use pdf2ps to get a PostScript file from the .pdf, then distill the .ps file w/ the correct settings.

Thanks for the tip, William. I am running TexLive MKII on a Windows system
and it doesn't seem to have pdf2ps. Bummer.

BTW, are you located in Mechanicsburg? If so, it's a small world.

If you install Ghostscript you'll get it.

If not, install a nice, generic PostScript driver, then print to a PostScript file using Adobe Reader, then distill the .ps file.

Not from here (moved up from Virginia a couple of years ago), but living here now. Drop me a line off-list --- we'll have to get together.

mkiv has only pdf as output format so you can use the same image formats
as mkii in pdf mode, the restriction has nothing to do with context, it 
comes
from the driver (pdftex) which allows only certain formats for pdf and dvi

also, in mkiv, some graphic formats will be converted automatically 
before inclusion

Wolfgang

Do I understand correctly that MKIV will not output a dvi or ps file and
that no stable version of it outputs a PDF/X-1a:2001 format file?

Is a version with this feature expected to be stable in a year?
