Editor's review
This is a tool that helps arrange multiple pages of a document on a single sheet of paper for printing.
In large scale printing operations, depending on the machine to be used and papers size needed, multiple pages of the source documents need to be arranged for a page of paper. Depending on the type of the document, these page arrangements could be different. This is a software tool that helps make these arrangements quite easy. This is the imposition process and may call for different arrangements based on the target document to be produced. Page imposition is a required task for off-set printing where paper sizes of A2 and bigger sizes are used. Whereas smaller sizes like A3 and A4 may be used in other applications. This is an Acrobat plug-in. This tool works off PDF pages and arranges them in papers sheets of required size. Cut & stack, booklet, cross fold, double cross fold, and other arrangements are handled by the tool.
Parameters can be set easily through the simple interface. A preview area lets you be sure the settings are being done right. This is a simple tool but is not for novice users. User needs to understand the requirements of the printing process and the folds and cuts that are necessary. They should be able to set the parameters appropriately. Other than that, the interface is easy enough to master and even beginners should feel comfortable with it. All the controls and settings are available from the same screen. If you need a tool like this, here is a candidate that you could try out in your work process and see if it fits. This is a very good tool.
