So in order to insert a whole PDF do I have to use something like

\startpagefigure[appleblossom][page=1]\stoppagefigure
\startpagefigure[appleblossom][page=2]\stoppagefigure
\startpagefigure[appleblossom][page=3]\stoppagefigure
\startpagefigure[appleblossom][page=4]\stoppagefigure
...

or is there also a nice keyword for "insert all pages"?

What is wrong with \copypages?

Perhaps not that evil, it seems to work :)

\starttext
\getfiguredimensions[ward]
\dorecurse{\noffigurepages}{\startpagefigure[ward][page=\recurselevel]
\stoppagefigure}
\stoptext

there is:

\insertpages[file.pdf][1,3][n=30,width=18cm]

(another challenge for patrick)

all the figures are the same size  or the figures the same size as
the document?

If you know the size of the figures, you can of course switch to
another papersize within the current TeX document and use
\externalfigure then.

\copypages[filename] (+optional [a=b], see \externalfigure)

%crazy:
\starttext
\setuppagenumbering[location=]
\copypages[tufte]
\stoptext

When I tried it it looks to me as these pages were placed like figures - sure, externalfigure o)

But is there also a command to *add* other pdfs? 
Given that they are the same size.

Not certain pages, but the whole thing just stuck together.

Do you have an idea?

pdftex (and therefore context) can include pdf's and even specific pages 
from a pdf:

% output=pdftex

\starttext

\externalfigure[somefile.pdf][ppage=2]

\stoptext

Combining pdf pages is possible with the texexec perl script. Try to see the
options with texexec --help|more
Not easy but extremely strong!

inserting other pdf's

[free]

Hi,
I want to Know if it's possible to add others pdf files to a former one 
resulting from a ConteXt compilation.

It's because I make technical drawings with Autocad wich are printed (at 
the right scale !) to a pdf file (By Distiller or Amunyi converter), and I 
want those in more general (text+drawings) documents.

One solution is openoffice, but it's not the right place!

Thanks a lot,
olivier Turlier
