What it does

The Imposition Tool takes a single artwork PDF and lays as many copies as you need onto a press sheet. Pick a standard sheet such as A2, 700 x 500 or 1000 x 700, or type your own size, then set the columns, rows, gap between trim edges, sheet margin for the gripper and the bleed already in your artwork. It shows you the fit before you commit, adds crop marks at every trim edge and prints the job name and colour on the sheet, then gives you a ready-to-plate imposed PDF. No imposition software, no licence, nothing to install.
