Hi Hans,
When arranging pfd pages from a pdf file with the ruby version of the
texexec script the following error occurs:
<cid:part1.07050109.01020703@boede.nl>texmfstart texexec.rb --pdfarrange
--paper=a5a4 --print=2up --result=a5a4-artiplydoc artiply-doc.pdf
.....
systems : system commands are enabled
! Missing number, treated as zero.
<to be read again>
a
\@@ppoffset ->a
5a4
\calculatepaperoffsets ...lue {\??pp #1\c!offset }
\divide \scratchdimen
\arr...
<argument> ...!height }\calculatepaperoffsets {A4}
\xdef \papersize {A4}
\firstofoneargument #1->#1
\next1 #1,->\docommando {#1}
\doprocesscommaitem
.....
l.3 \setuplayout
?
It does work with the perl script.
COuld you please have a look at this?
Thanks
Willi

use --paperformat
in order to distinguish between paperoffset etc

Thanks. For achival value in case anyone else searches the list for
this topic, here's the command line that works for me:
texexec --pdfarrange --paperformat=a5a4 --print=2UP p5.pdf
(2SIDE also works, and the --print= is needed)
I had been using the texexec man entry from an old Context (with tetex
3.0) which doesn't mention the --paperformat switch.
Is there a way to specify custom paper sizes or reductions for the
paperformat, for those of us in countries that use
non-sqrt(2)-aspect-ratio paper sizes?
