conjunction with Imposition settings, which will appear after the Booklet entries have been
made.

upon the current selections.
Options:
l
Configuration: Use the drop-down to select the type of binding to use:
l
Saddle Binding: This binding places all the pages in a stack, binds the middle and
folds the stack as one.
l
Perfect Binding: This binding type is often used for books. Pages are folded in the
middle and then set side by side. The pages are then bound along the folded
"spine".
l
1 up Perfect Binding: This binding does not contain any folding. The pages are
lined up side by side and bound along one edge.
