Imposing Modul

Imposing

The imposing module is an output software.
Creates layouts of 2 or 4 pages onto a single sheet, or helps printing pamphlets.

Eps files are processed to PostScript.
Therefore each page of a job must exist as EPS file. To do this, the original PostScript file must be converted.
This is done automatically with the help of Adobe Acrobat and Distiller. This software is needed additionally to the PrintManager.

The necessary steps are done and controlled by the PrintManager.
