Re: imposition with some rotated pages

[Willi Egger <context@boede.nl>]

Hi Pablo,

hm, it seems that this is a special issue.

As I understand it you should separate the pages which are rotated. Then rotate them into another file. Finally use the [2UP] arranging for reassembling all pages.

The built in impositioning tool in Context is typesetting first all pages upright. In an other run the pages are impositioned and rotaded as needed according the the schema chosen. There is therefore no way to make a booklet from your source directly,


I hope you will find a way to separate the rotated pages!

Best regards


Willi
