Description
Insert pages from another PDF file as pages in the current document. One can cherry-pick specific pages or page ranges.
Please note that the inserted pages will be placed on your ConTeXt pages like a new "layer", or floating object. This means that your existing headers, footers, crop marks will still be printed on top of or behind the inserted pages.
If you want to insert pages as completely independent pages between your existing ConTeXt pages, use \startpagefigure.
Examples
Example 1
Insert page 1, and 3 through 6, of file.pdf:
\filterpages[file.pdf][1,3,4:6][width=18cm]
Example 2
\defineexternalfigure[inframe][option=frame,factor=fit] \filterpages[pagetest][odd][category=inframe]
