A clear path to print
Open. Adjust. Print.
Your artwork stays on your device.
Your layout stays in your control.
- 01
Define the sheet
Choose the paper, rows, columns and output sheet count. Adjust the margins and gutters.
- 02
Assign the cells
Place source pages in the grid, rotate them where required and leave intentional blank positions.
- 03
Check the cell trim
Inspect scaling, marks and each front/back layout. Print a proof at actual size before finishing.
A little print know-how
Good files.
Better results.
A few things to check before you send your job to the printer.
Read the Custom imposition guideCells define the finished trim
The sheet, margins and gutters determine cell dimensions. Crop marks follow those cells, so check the resulting piece size.
Watch the scaling choice
Fit scales artwork into a cell. Actual size centres the artwork at its native dimensions, which can extend beyond the cell.
Can I put any source page in a cell?
Yes. Custom imposition uses explicit page assignments, with cell rotation and intentional blanks for a layout you control.
Does the sheet grow to fit my pages?
The selected sheet stays the basis of the layout. Its margins and gutters determine the size of each cell.
Can I set different margins on each side?
Yes. Advanced controls provide top, right, bottom and left margins, plus separate gutters across and down.
When is another tool easier?
Use Booklet for folded page order, Step & Repeat for one repeated design, or Gang Sheet to pack mixed items automatically.
Keep your job moving
The right tool for the next step.
Gang Sheet
Pack several jobs onto one sheet. Drop every PDF; items are placed and rotated to fit.
N-up
Several pages per sheet, in reading order. The sheet and the count are chosen to waste the least paper.
Step & Repeat
Business cards, labels and tickets: each page repeated to fill the sheet, with bleed and marks handled.
