Hello! I work at minuteman press and at work when we have an automated script that imposes whatever size our artwork is multiple up on a peice of whatever paper we are cutting, 11 x 17, 12 x 18 etc. I am trying to locate it on the internet but I was told by my boss that it came with Adobe does anyone else have this issue? I know workarounds but would prefer to use what I have at work

I get the sense the OP wants a more robust script capable of doing n-up and/or larger signature impositions. This kind of thing I've always thought was part of the RIP processing and I've never seen a script in InDesign to handle it, though that doesn't mean such a script idn't out there.

Not just a market for small shops, but agencies and like that want to do a proof in-house for clients to signoff on. Making a comp is a good way to double check and make sure you are happy with the pageflow and logic of a piece.

This is a simple 2-up script that imitates Print Booklet, but Exports a PDF:

Only two I can think of... I could be wrong 🙂

Post the name and any other information that you can about the script. If someone else would have been using the script, then they might come with some help for you.

Why in InDesign. Do imposing from Acrobat. So you will be able to do it from any program.
