Imposing (or imposition) is all about combining pages before you print them. It has been done for hundreds of years, and virtually every book or leaflet you pick up will have been imposed.
Quite Imposing is for people who are working with Adobe’s Acrobat suite, which creates and modifies PDF files. By itself, Acrobat allows pages to be rearranged, or documents split or joined, but not much more. But PDF is a flexible format, suited to imposing.
With Quite Imposing, you can impose any PDF file (except those using Acrobat’s security options). You’ll make a new PDF file, which you can see on screen and make sure it has the correct arrangement, before printing. This should save many expensive mistakes.
Some of the features are
- Create booklets (2-up imposition).
- N-up pages. Arrange consecutive pages on a larger sheet, e.g. 2 x 2. Can add margins, crop marks, frames.
- Trim and shift. Trim from the edge of pages; or add space at the edge of pages; or shift the contents of pages by a fixed or variable amount. Also shift for "creep" in a folded booklet.
- Shuffle pages. Rearrange pages to any order by defining a simple rule.
- Automation sequences, to group together commands and play them back with or without prompting.
- Step and repeat, allowing multiple copies of each page to fill a sheet (e.g. business cards).
- Manual Imposition, allowing you to manually impose single pages for special one-off effects.
- Imposition Info which gives details and accountability on the pages which went into an imposition, and allows imposed pages to be deleted, or the original pages to be extracted for reuse.
- PDF/X support to preserve PDF/X settings when imposing.
From the uploader: this Acrobat plug-in is must-have for home use. I has saved a lot of paper using it, especially on e-books printing (I'm not very fond of reading from the display). Whenever the document font size allows, I remove white page margins (I generally using Acrobat crop feature for this) and produce booklet, thus getting twice less pages to print.
