Reply To: Imposition Solutions

Well, I have an absolute need for imposition and it has been a real challenge. I work in-house and wear many hats. I have found Croptima to be a viable solution. But what I have relied upon most is the plugin from overnighty (see the link above from jools) at https://www.impositionsoftware.com. It has its limitations and the instructions that go with it are not that great. BUT, I manage 4-up impositions without too much trouble. Recently, I was even able to perform a 6-up imposition for a wider press. I had to do a little work-around to get it to work, but the script is really a marvell. Adobe doesn't seem to want to improve its Print Booklet function, which is really beyond my ability to understand why. So, Print Booklet is rather useless unless you only want a basic 2-up imposition. But, who's going to waste plates on that? Print Booklet only seems useful to me if you are going to do a 4-up imposition manually. But, I am really talking about imposing a book. There are some simple step and repeat scripts that should do basic layout of business cards, etc. And the above mentioned script form overnighty will repeat on a page as many times as you like. It's quite flexible. On a final note, unless you're doing really complicated impositions, I wouldn't spend too much money. Overnighty and Croptima will do just about anything you need and they are both very affordable.
