Subject: Replacing a piece of a paper
Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2011 17:41:21 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <op.vo5km7jitpjj8f@lpr> (raw)

Hello,

I'm trying to handle a special problem. I guess ConTeXt would be useful for this purpose, although its primary function is to typeset. But -

I have many drawings - they are black-and-white one-sided PDFs of A1 or A2 size (typical technical drawings).

The bottom right area of size 210 x 330 mm should be "deleted" - or over-painted by a white rectangle (or picture or MP code).

And next a new PDF of A4 size should be placed on the right bottom area, just on the white ("deleting") area.

I wouldn't have problem with batch processing the number of files.

But I would need an example how to take the original A2 PDF, place a whitening area on it and then to place a new PDF over it; I'm not experienced enough in "layering" with ConTeXt and I guess this may be the way.

Would it be possible to provide a small example of such processing an arbitrary file?

I can send a sample A2 or A1 PDF, and also a replacing A4, if necessary.

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,

Lukas
