Fiery also has Fiery Job Flow which they seem to be rapidly improving and adding features to for handling files automatically.

My point is in looking at imposition software look at how it can save you times/clicks and reduce errors created by wrong clicks. We have dozens of common jobs per day that prepress doesn't even touch - customers submit PDF (their own creation or through templates we setup) at the website and we have the website sending it into an internal FTP server that is watched and when a file arrives in a specific folder its moved to a specific fiery hot folder. All your Fiery job properties can be assigned to the hot folder as well for common jobs. One benefit to impose is the Fiery Hot Folders option, you can drop your PDF's into hotfolder and have them automatically imposed w/o spending time clicking around in Impose. However, this person seems to have tweaked the code to make it work on the newer Adobe CC: Unfortunately they stopped making newer versions. There used to be a great $50 InDesign plug-in called Croptima InPlate. Of this list, I have personally only used Impose or Quite Imposing.Ĥ. Quite Imposing is great too, but it takes a few trial-and-error's to figure it out because you don't see the results until the end.ģ.

If they don't have a Fiery, they use Quite Imposing, or do it manually up-stream in InDesign, Illustrator, or Corel Draw. Yes, about 90% of our customers use Impose. If you need to do lots unique numbering or tabs, I'd recommend the Impose/JobMaster combo package.Ģ. I'd recommend getting the combo impose/compose package because it's only a few $100 more and offers so many more features for building documents, combining documents, etc. It builds the document as you put in the requirements so you can see if there are any issues (WYSIWYG). Yes, Impose inside of Fiery is probably the easiest and most visual to use.
