What print pros say
The custom imposition options are why I stayed. Odd page sizes, mixed orientations, bespoke grids: PDF Press handles custom impose jobs my old tools just refused.
No Acrobat, no install, runs on my locked-down work laptop. For a copy centre that's huge: any operator can impose a job without waiting on IT.
N-up imposition for labels and business cards is flawless. The grid snaps to my sheet, cut marks land where the guillotine needs them, and there's no more manual step-and-repeat.
