Hello Pablo,
also Lua might be useful for you - some code like the one bellow, which
is based on an answer in this forum years ago:
assert(not figures.getinfo2)
figures.getinfo2 = function(name, page) -- [ [NTG-context] Pdf info with
Lua/Ctx API ]
if type(name) == "string" then

It’s a TeX primitive. From the TeXbook, chapter 20:

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang.
Many thanks for your reply, Taco. It helps me a lot to manipulate the
images (which are actually PDF documents).
I have another question about an issue that I experience at work.
Some of the PDF documents I have to deal with are poorly generated.

Hi Pablo,
I have had lots of problems with getting the correct figure dimensions
for external images. In the end, I now use the code below. It is just

From what I understand of grph-inc.mkiv, I came with the following sample:
\unprotect
\def\figureXSize{\clf_figurestatus{width}{}}
\def\figureYSize{\clf
