CREATING CUSTOM IMPOSITIONS
Y
ou are not limited to a single imposition type within a layout. You can choose
which pages to impose a certain way, print those, and then impose and print the
remaining pages separately. For example, you might need to print the covers of a
document separately.
The
Preview pane provides these controls in the View area:
• All: Select this option to print all pages in the document.
•
Range: Select this option to specify a range of pages to print from the layout.
Only absolute numbers can be entered into the Range field. Any sections that
have been specified in your QuarkXPress layout must be converted to their
actual page count equivalent.
Keep in mind that comma delimiters signify single pages, while hyphens signify
page ranges. For example, entering 1, 4, 7, 10–14 in the
Range field yields
eight pages: 1, 4, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14.
Using the custom imposition settings in the Preview pane.
PREVIEWING PRINTER FLATS
The Preview pane of the Imposer dialog box lets you confirm the settings you
make in the
Layout pane. For example, you can see how the pages are rotated
and you can check the bleed amount.
To open the
Imposer dialog box, choose File Þ Imposer. To switch between the
Preview and Layout panes, click the tabs. Use the resize box in the lower-right
corner to increase the previewing area.
