"PDF Imposition"

"So what exactly is PDF imposition?" I hear you cry. Well, to put it simply, imposition is the process of assembling pages or page elements for printing. Imposition includes the alignment of business card sheets for correct printing, such that the edges precisely match the lines along which the stock will be cropped. Another pertinent example would be the process of sorting the pages of a booklet or brochure to display correctly after folding.

One option would be ARTS PDF Print Suite Pro, with its powerful suite of imposition (courtesy of the industry-leading Quite Imposing Plus and the award-winning ARTS PDF Crackerjack) and print workflow tools. If you don't think you'll need that advanced print functionality, perhaps you would prefer to try a more basic alternative -- PDF Snake is a multi-function tool whose features include imposition and stamping. In addition, PDF Snake is available in a server version, which is ideal for performing automated batch imposition.

As you can see, there's a little something for everybody: PDF Snake is inexpensive and streamlined and ARTS PDF Print Suite Pro provides the top-of-the-line print workflow solution.

Please browse PDF Store's PDF Imposition aisle for the complete range of PDF Imposition tools.
