STEP 11: CREATING AN IMPOSED PDF FILE WITH QUARK IMPOSER
Quark Imposer for Adobe Acrobat Professional creates a new PDF file with
imposed printer flats from a regular multi-page PDF file.
To create an imposed PDF with Quark Imposer:
1 Choose File Þ Imposer, then confirm all the settings in the Preview and
Layout panes of the Imposer dialog box.
2 Click Create in the Imposer dialog box or press Return/Enter.
Quark Imposer for Adobe Acrobat places each set of printer’s marks on a separate
layer in the final PDF file. These layers can be accessed by clicking the
Layers tab
in Acrobat and can be turned on or off, giving you complete control over which
marks print.
CREATING CUSTOM IMPOSITIONS
You are not limited to a single imposition type within a document. You
can choose which pages to impose a certain way, create a PDF file from those,
then impose and create a second PDF file containing the remaining pages. For
example, the cover pages of a document might need to be in a different PDF
file than the interior pages.
The
Preview pane provides these controls:
• All: Select this option to create an imposed PDF containing all pages from
the original multi-page PDF file.
•
Range: Select this option to specify a range of pages to impose from the
original PDF file.
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 setting in the Pr
