Subject: crop PDF pages
Date: Mon, 19 Sep 2011 22:08:23 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CA+C1juacJCx6x+EjF39tsL5g1gVZ2jancF6+8mRwA_CuMnfqfg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi, powerful context users:
I'm wondering why there is no crop setting for \externalfigure or \insertpages.
I have a lot of scanned books in PDF format, most of them are double sided.
I want to read them on kindle but the huge margins take too much space
and as a result the texts are too small.
I want to use commands like \insertpages to crop all the pages with
different bounding box settings for odd/even pages.
there's a "scale" option for \copypages but it's somewhat naive to use
in such practical cases...
Yue Wang
