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

So , if you have file-001.pdf, file-002.pdf, file-003.pdf maybe
\starttext
\startTEXpage\externalfigure[file-001]\stopTEXpage
\startTEXpage\externalfigure[file-002]\stopTEXpage
\startTEXpage\externalfigure[file-003]\stopTEXpage
\stoptext
is what you need.

Yes, this is easy. There are three options:
1.) \startTEXpage\externalfigure[...]\stopTEXpage
2.) same, but with TEXstream
3.) a shortcut for the above, \startpagefigure. See

Answering my own question, quite simple with ConTeXt:
\definepapersize[a3landscape][A3,landscape]
\definepapersize[a4portrait][A4,portrait]
\setuppapersize[a4portrait]
\starttext
\externalfigure[foo.pdf]
\page\setuppapersize[a3landscape]
\externalfigure[bar.pdf]
\stoptext
G
PS. The solution below does not work because it keeps the sizes of the images and does not set page sizes for the pages where the images are embedded.

Ah ok, you don't want to inherit the pagesize from the external pdf.

It still is weird. It sometimes work (but not completely) and sometimes not. For instance
\definepapersize[a3landscape][A3,landscape]
\definepapersize[a4portrait][A4,portrait]
\setuppapersize[a3landscape]
\starttext
\externalfigure[foo.pdf]
\stoptext
foo.pdf is a 18.43x13.88 inch PDF image
The end result is a 16.54x16.54 inch PDF image with the embedded image cropped.

Weirder still.
\definepapersize[large][a3,landscape]
\definepapersize[small][a4,portrait]
\setuppapersize[large]
\starttext
\externalfigure[foo.pdf]
\page\setuppapersize[small]
\externalfigure[bar.pdf]
\stoptext
The first page is now 11.69x11.69 inch and the second page is a4, but landscape
So, let's make sure I use both layout size and print size in my definitions
\definepapersize[large][a3,landscape][a3,landscape]
\definepapersize[small][a4,portrait][a4,portrait]
\setuppapersize[large]
\starttext
\externalfigure[foo.pdf][factor=fit]
\page\setuppapersize[small]
\externalfigure[bar.pdf][factor=fit]
\stoptext
Now both pages are a4 landscape. Another go:
\setuppapersize[a3,landscape][a3,landscape]
\starttext
\externalfigure[BoudewijndeHaasOpgave2Totaalview.pdf][factor=fit]
\page\setuppapersize[a4,portrait][a4,portrait]
\externalfigure[FredRademakerOpgave2Totaalview.pdf][factor=fit]
\stoptext
Both a4 landscape again.
Does this stuff work at all? Another go
\setuppapersize[A3,landscape][A3,landscape]
\starttext
\externalfigure[foo.pdf][factor=fit]
\page\setuppapersize[A4,portrait][A4,portrait]
\externalfigure[bar.pdf][factor=fit]
\stoptext
Hmm, this works. I originally used lower case a4 and a3, as I saw that in an example somewhere. But somewhere else I saw A3, A4 etc.

In the past I have used pdftk to merge pdfs and found it to be pretty
reliable.

I did not see the possibility to influence page sizes of the PDF's you merge in the man page.

I thought that you did not want to influence the page size. From what I
remember, pdftk does not change page sizes, it simply merges the pdfs.

I wrote:
- 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
I have looked at many tools: All so far do not leave vector images vector images, they convert to pixels and at a pretty low resolution at that. All so far looked at do not ignore page sizes, they set a page size for the entire document.
Anyway, ConTeXt is capable, though it is difficult to get it working properly because its arguments cannot stand combinations of fit-to-size and rotation in combination. But with a lot of specific hand work and nudging, I can get there eventually.
