Imposition Editor

Imposition Editor

The Imposition Editor is implemented as an Acrobat plug-in. The "Imposition Editor" folder has some examples that you can use as templates when using the tool the first time. In addition, the folder also contains tutorials.

The Imposition Editor is designed for you to set up an imposition scheme for a PDF file and to show a preview of the press sheets that is as accurate as possible. The Imposition Editor lets you impose PDF files with visual control.

Overview of the main functions:

You can generate a great number of schemes or edit defined schemes.

You can use master pages to set up the pages of your schemes (size, orientation, back margins, etc.).

Selection of binding methods

Marks setup

Sheet setup (printing material, imaging window, etc.)

Setup of how the sheet will be utilized (layout of several folding sheets on one press sheet)

You can save all your settings as a job ("*.jdf" file). In this way, you can work on your job at any time, such as printing it again or using it as a template for other jobs.
