Indesign Imposition Script

[JohnsObscura]

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

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

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.

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

Hi @JohnsObscura , I posted a link to an imposition script at the end of this thread

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.

Been there done that 😉 August 2004 - for ID 2.0.2 😉

So, have you made that script publicly available (paid or otherwise)?

As I said , I've never seen it mentioned, at least not that I recall, in the 20 years I've been here on the forum. Seems like a great thing to have.

[Robert at ID-Tasker]

It was more like a dry run 😉 to see if I can do it 😉 but maybe you are right - maybe I should publish it ...

[Peter Spier]

I definitely think there would be a market among the small shop printers.

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.

[Robert at ID-Tasker]

Will try to "publish" it in the next few days - as part of the ID-Tasker - it would be one of the special rules.

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