Been there, done that, fought two hours with this yesterday and got in the best case adequate results by cropping the pdf page in Acrobat first and then inserting as externalfigure... I can do this with Adobe Acrobat (as we really have a licence for the full thing) and another (more affordable) option for Windows users would be pdfedit995 (), but I really would like to insert the pages in ConTeXt to make sure that I don't forget the insertion process. Brief experiments with texexec didn't seem to work and even the help says "--pdfcombine combine pages to one page", which is not what I want to do (besides, as I'm compiling my file out of Emacs with a keyboard command, I'd rather not play with texexec at all). The command in Acrobat is Document | Insert Pages - I've tried to tell myself that there must be an easy way to duplicate this somewhere in the ConTeXt file, but may be there isn't? If not, this is HIGH on my wishlist. I, too, have full page AutoCad originated pdf files to insert... mari
