Thanks for the solution Pablo. It works well.
I wanted to add more pdfs (which also has many pages) and found it was easier
for me to reason in the lua side of things. This is what I have at the moment:
\starttext
\startluacode
local function doc(fil)
return fil..[[.pdf]]
end
local function disppdf(fname)
n = 1
repeat
context.externalfigure({fname},{
page = n,
width = "200mm",
scale = "950"
})
n = n + 1
until n == context(context.noffigurepages)
end
local pdffiles = {"ass1", "ass2", "ass3", "ass4", "ass5", "ass6", "ass7",
"ass8"}
for index=1,#pdffiles do
local f = doc(pdffiles[index])
context.getfiguredimensions({f})
disppdf(pdffiles[index])
end
\stopluacode
\stoptext
I didn’t know how to get an array (or indexed table or whatever you call it) in
ConTeXt/Tex. My problem is now with context(context.noffigurepages). Am I
calling it wrong? All I want to do is call \noffigurepages from the lua side.
Is there something I am missing?
