Feature Request: Integrated Professional Page Imposition Tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro
Hi Adobe Team,
I am a professional graphic designer and print specialist. I use Adobe Acrobat Pro daily for pre-press and production. I have a significant feature request that would benefit the global printing and publishing community.
Currently, Adobe Acrobat lacks a native, professional-grade Page Imposition engine. For complex layouts like 8-up, 16-up, customized book signatures, or "Step and Repeat" for labels, we are forced to rely on very expensive third-party plugins (like Quite Imposing or Preps).
It would be a game-changer if Adobe could integrate a dedicated Imposition Tool within the 'Print Production' toolset. We need the ability to:
-
Set custom Gutter Margins and Gripper areas.
-
Control Page Folding sequences and signatures.
-
Automate Trim Marks and Bleed adjustments directly within the layout.
The jump from InDesign to a print-ready PDF often requires manual imposition, which is time-consuming and prone to errors. Having this built into Acrobat would streamline the entire workflow.
I hope the engineering team considers adding a robust Imposition module in future updates of Acrobat Pro.
Regards,
Manish
