When you receive PDF files from your customers, you will need to create impositions of these files. Or even center these PDF files on a sheet of paper, to optimize output, regardless if they have a bleed area or cropmarks.
Your output or prepress people have to take care of all these files, to make sure they are output in the most optimal way.
Some companies use very complicated and expensive software for this task, others use InDesign to manually impose these supplied PDF files to printable files.
PageMapper is designed to be an alternative to this problem.
PageMapper will analyze the supplied PDFs, and use InDesign to create printable, optimized output, in a matter of seconds!
Here are some key features of "PageMapper":
· Colors from the PDF are automatically read
· Bleed, size of the PDF and the final, cropped page-size are automatically interpreted
· If there are crop marks in the supplied PDF, PageMapper will take these into consideration during imposition
· Rotation of pages can be set
· The resulting InDesign file can be saved, together with the ready-to-print PDF file
Imposition schematics:
· Step & Repeat
· Saddle Stitch (Support for 2, 4 and 8-page impositions)
· Consecutive
Requirements:
· Adobe InDesign CS2, CS3 or CS4 to create the impositions.
Limitations:
· Fully functional, except it will replace random pages with dummy pages.
