Hans,

would it be possible to add an key to \setupinteractionscreen that
implements the /PrintPageRange key in the /ViewerPreferences dictionary
(https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf#page=373)?

For example, "\setupinteractionscreen[range={2, 4-7, 10}]" should add
the "/PrintPageRange [1 1 3 6 9 9]" in /ViewerPreferences. (BTW, the key
name is the first one that came to my mind.)

This is extremely useful to help the user to print only the required
pages and not the whole document (which may be required only for viewing
purposes).
well, 'extremely' is a bit of a exaggeration i guess as most of these fancy acrobat only features are hardly used or requested (i still have to meet a publisher who wants anything fancy pdf anyway) so we're talking of yet another feature creep that probably only one person will use

anyway, that said, as we use abstraction and as we don't know pages in advance the only way i'm willing to support it is by using the (probably unknown) marked pages feature

\setupinteractionscreen
  [print={foo,oof}]

\starttext

% \markpage[foo][1,4,5]
% \markpage[foo][+2]

\markpage[foo] foo \page
\markpage[foo] foo \page
\markpage[oof] oof \page
\markpage[bar] bar \page
\markpage[foo] foo \page
\markpage[foo] foo \page
\markpage[bar] bar \page
\markpage[foo] foo \page
\markpage[oof] oof \page
\markpage[bar] bar \page

\stoptext

and guess who is going to document it on the wiki ...

Hans
