Re: Scaling with \filterpages not working?

Thanks all for the answers.

The solution by both Peters works well:

---
\starttext
   \filterpages[1.pdf][1:2]
   \page

   \setuplayout[page]
   \filterpages[1.pdf][1:2]
   \setuplayout[reset]
   \page
\stoptext
---

To Hans:

I really needed to filter out some pages.

(In this case, I wanted to use pages 1-2 from a pdf which has exactly 2 pages, but it won't happen in general - this was only a special sample case.)

My task IN GENERAL is - let's have a pdf of a scanned document. Let it have e.g. 20 pages. And I need to insert pages 1-10 at one place and 16-20 at another place (scanned pages 11-15 won't be used).

These pages are to be placed UNSCALED to the document. So:

- I can't use \externalfigure as it places just ONE specific page to the document.

- I can't use \insertpages as I can determine only the NUMBER of pages to include, but not the FIRST page (see the "n=..." option).

- I can't use \copypages for the same reason as \insertpages.

- So the one possibility is to use \filterpages as it offers possibility to select exact pages or their ranges.

The initial problem was that \filterpages scales inserted pages to \textwidth so I tried to play with the "width" option. And the "width" option works - how exactly? (See the previous trials.)

Best regards,

Lukas
