\start pagefigure not working as expected

\start pagefigure not working as expected

Hi guys,

I created a CTX document and now I am trying to merge it with two other
pages from another (already compiled) pdf document. Usually I did this job
with PDF Split And Merge software, but if CTX (mkiv, LuaTeX) is capable of
doing the job, I'd be glad to use CTX instead.

On the wiki I found a code snippet that sounds promising, as I don't want
headers, page numbers etc. on the two merged pages:

\startpagefigure[file.pdf][page=1]\stoppagefigure

So I added another line with page=2 as content, yet the output generates a
PDF with the *first page twice* only. In fact, my precompiled doc has 3
pages, of which I want the first two only in my new PDF, even when I use
the following code, LuaTeX generates the first page of the precompiled
PDF *three
times*:

\startpagefigure[file.pdf][page=3]\stoppagefigure
\startpagefigure[file.pdf][page=1]\stoppagefigure
\startpagefigure[file.pdf][page=5]\stoppagefigure

Like I mentioned: even although there is no 5th page in file.pdf, LuaTeX
pastes the first page three times...

Am I overlooking something or was there some undocumented change to the
code?


Thanks in advance, Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

how about the following code (I don’t remember when, how or where I
found it)?

    \starttext
    \startpagemakeup\filterpages[file.pdf][1]\stoppagemakeup
    \startpagemakeup\filterpages[file.pdf][2]\stoppagemakeup
    \startpagemakeup\filterpages[file.pdf][3]\stoppagemakeup
    \stoptext

If you add a non-existing page, you will get a blank page (with the code
above).

Sorry, but I don’t know. Probably I used pagefigure before discovering
pagemakeup.

Just in case it might help,


Pablo

Your suggestion works fine for me. I tried \filterpages too, as it is
mentioned on the wiki as well, but the pages then got scaled to the
\setuplayout definitions. I didn't think about using it within the
\startpagemakeup environment though.

So thanks Pablo.

P.S.: I'd still love to know why the simple \startpagefigure doesn't work
as expected as I thought that's what it's there for.

Hi Andrés,

The problem with \insertpages is that it inserts pages as layers, which
means that header, footer and page numbers will be printed on it as well.
That's what I don't want, and also your suggested link points to me to
\insertpage in my case:

"Please note that the inserted pages will be placed on your ConTeXt pages
like a new "layer", or floating object. This means that your existing
headers, footers, crop marks will still be printed on top of or behind the
inserted pages.
*If you want to insert pages as completely independent pages between your
existing ConTeXt pages, use\startpagefigure
<http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/startpagefigure>.*"

But the command \startpagefigure doesn't work as described on the wiki...
