Check your printer settings, most printers downscale the document when the 
distance between the text and the margins are too small.

[NTG-context] Adjusting topspace for letterhead in layer construct

2014-11-19 Thread jdh



mtx-context | current version: 2014.10.18 14:30

I only want about 3 to 5 mm between the physical top of the page and the 
top of the letterhead (in this example, a company's and contact 
information).


In \setlayer I set y=3mm


The pdf view of the output looks good, but an actual printout (and a 
look at a print preview with a pdf viewer)  of the generated pdf file 
puts the top of the letterhead about 17 mm down from the top edge.  This 
is too much.  I tried adjusting topspace and topdistance to 0 didn't 
seem to have any affect.


I am using theh ConText standalone:  mtx-context   version: 2014.10.18 14:30

Here is a simple minimal exmple:
%
% Start of minimal example

   \setuppapersize[letter][letter]
   \setuppagenumbering[location=footer]

   \setuplayout[
  backspace=31mm,
  header=5mm,
  rightmargin=2cm, leftmargin=2cm ]

   \definelayer
 [Logo]  % name of the layer we are defining
 [ repeat=yes,
   x=5mm,y=3mm,  % Just what is this?
   hoffset=0mm,voffset=0mm, % and what is this?  ...offset from where?
   width=\paperwidth
 ]

   \setupTABLE[r][1,2,3][height=5mm,frame=off]  % Put letterhead 
information in here.


\starttext

\setlayer[Logo][]
   {
\bTABLE
 \bTR
  \bTD \eTD \bTD \sc{Company Name}\eTD \bTD 
\sc{info}@\sc{something}.\sc{where} \eTD

 \eTR
 \bTR
   \bTD \eTD \bTD 2059 Forest Ave, Ste X \eTD \bTD 
\sc{www}.\sc{domain}.\sc{topleveldomain} \eTD

 \eTR
 \bTR
\bTD \eTD \bTD City, Province \eTD \bTD Tel (xxx) 999-1234 \eTD
\eTR
  \eTABLE
}
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=Logo]

~% Need `` to avoid a NULL content page so can generate a pdf

\stoptext

%
% End of minimal example
