Many thanks for your reply, Bruce. All I need to avoid here is to reduce any A3 image (there are calendars, such as https://texample.net/files/birthday-calendar.pdf). > But I don't understand what you mean by "cut each A3 page in half"? With an A4 booklet, I mean the paper size when folded. The paper used to print an A4 booklet is A3 (folded in half). I need to cut the A3 landscape pages in half (two portrait A4 pages) in order to avoid reducing them. After having that, rearranging them in an A4 booklet is simple. > Is the A3 already in the form of two A4 sheets per page so that > there is a gutter between them and you effectively want to extract > each A4 half page, arrange in order, and then print reduced to A5 in > a booklet of A4 sheets? As far as I get, no. I mean, there should be no gutter (no extra space) and no reduction is needed. I hope it is clearer now what I’m aiming at. Many thanks for your help, Pablo ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / https://mailman.ntg.nl/mailman3/lists/ntg-context.ntg.nl webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / https://context.aanhet.net (mirror) archive : https://github.com/contextgarden/context wiki : https://wiki.contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
