Step & Repeat.

Every page is stepped across the sheet as many times as fits. Bleed is read from the file, gaps follow it, and crop marks land outside the bleed.

What step & repeat does

Every page is stepped across the sheet as many times as fits. Bleed is read from the file, gaps follow it, and crop marks land outside the bleed.

Open Step & Repeat

The normal workflow

  1. 1Open your file. Drop a PDF (or PNG/JPEG) in — Step & Repeat reads the page size and count and suggests a starting setup.
  2. 2Check the auto layout. The sheet, count and marks are picked for you. The live preview shows exactly what will print.
  3. 3Adjust what matters. Change only the settings that need it — everything else stays on its suggested value.
  4. 4Export the imposed sheet. Download a print-ready PDF, or send it straight to print — processed locally, nothing uploaded.
