Hans, Thank you so much for the kind response.
Apologies that I was not very clear in my initial query. I have - 1. MyStatement.tex, with all the necessary fonts, static text, images, header, footer etc 2. MyStatement.tex reads from a JSON file for certain sections of the document for the dynamic content 3. context MyStatement.tex produces MyStatement.pdf How do I do the above steps 1 to 3 in a continuous fashion such that - - Output is MyStatement_1.pdf (reads from data_1.json), MyStatement_2.pdf (reads from data_2.json) and so on - The tex processing is fast as fonts etc are loaded once (as the Tex template is same for all the MyStatement_n.pdf) >From the sample code that you gave, I get a hint that this can be possibly done using ConTeXt Lua Document approach. Is this correct? Thank you once again, Best, Ramkumar On Tue, Nov 3, 2020 at 7:02 PM Hans Hagen <j.ha...@xs4all.nl> wrote: > On 11/3/2020 1:55 AM, Ramkumar KB wrote: > > Hello, > > > > I am trying to run mtxrun in a batch process and read the available > > documentation here - > > https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Running_ConTeXt_without_a_shell > > > > My usecase is being able to create PDF docs based on the input data that > > comes in a JSON format (in a continuous batch process).
