Chapter 2. Creating the Job Layout
The Imposition Signature
Book Binding
Because documents using book binding are actually made up of booklets
of up to 32 pages (16-up), you must place one page layout on the web
template for each page in the booklet when creating the imposition
signature. You must manually assign each page layout to the correct
page sequence number, keeping in mind the number of pages in the
booklet and the folding and trimming scheme being used.
Saddle-Stitch Binding
To create the imposition signature for a 2-up, saddle-stitched document,
two page layouts are placed on the front side of the web template. (Two
page layouts are automatically placed on the back side of the web
template.) Number the page layouts using the page sequence 1 through
4. The page layouts numbered 3 and 4 correspond to the pages at the
end of the PDF or TIFF file that are being printed on the same sheet as
the beginning pages. For the pages in the document to be properly
printed, the Saddle-stitch option in the Generate IJPDS dialog must be
enabled. (See Chapter 5 for details.)
Creating the Imposition Signature
The imposition signature is created from the New Imposition dialog, which
opens when you select EditJob → New Imposition.
The New Imposition dialog contains three tabs: Page, Page Layout, and
Trim Marks.
Note:
1. Click the Page tab.
2. Enter the width of the page layout in the Width text box. The default is
8.5 inches (21.59 centimeters).
3. Enter the height of the page layout in the Height text box. The default
is 11 inches (27.94 centimeters).
Varied page dimensions within the same PDF or TIFF file are not
supported. When a file contains pages with varied dimensions, the
dimensions of the first page in the file are used. Factors, such as the
width of the printheads selected to print the job, can affect the maximum
page width.
