Imposition Studio Crack

We use Adobe CC applications for our pre-press production software, and are looking at assessing the best imposition solutions for going from artwork to plates for process jobs or pdfs for digital jobs.
For PDF print publishing workflows, page imposition is best performed at the RIP itself. Virtually every modern PDF workflow system, RIP, and DFE (for digital printers) has support for imposition. Ideally, that is where it should be done!
Only when printing PDF files to non-PDF direct devices should one even consider imposition in Acrobat itself. There are a number of products that provide such imposition services within Acrobat as plug-ins. The recommendations of Eugene Tyson should be taken seriously.
I realize that this is over a year since you posted this, but I'm curious why you say "page imposition is best performed at the RIP itself.". I can think of a number of reasons, cost being the big one, why imposing prior to ripping is better. I have heard a number of people say this, but so far no-one has given me an answer that conclusively prooves this theory. Exactly why, do you feel this way?
Years ago I worked with AGFA Apogee just as they developed their own imposition software that no longer relied on Preps templates. I found AGFA's proprietary imposition software was great for bookwork but not so good for smaller n-up stuff, but luckily I could still use the Preps template based impositions for n-up work, cut and stack stuff, etc. Nevertheless it would be my first pick.
A few years late on an answer but we run a medium size web to print company and we use It's very easy to use. There is basically no learning curve and we can create new layouts instantly when we bring new products to online.
Who said you must be a rocket scientist to create impositions? We think you need a software which concentrates on the final product instead of the technical spiel. Youneed a software which has a friendly, clear and easy to use user interface. You need a software what you can use intuitively without the manual. For your imposition needs, you need the InDesign Imposition Plug-in!
The simple, user-friendly interface makes it possible to learn using the software step-by-step while you are actually creating impositions in a production environment. This way you can use almost the full potential of the plug-in without spending hours with examining the manual.
To be honest I can't see much use for this. In my (moderate) experience, if you send the job to a commercial printer, they handle the imposition. If you need to print booklets on a local printer/mfd (with a booklet finisher), it's own driver will handle the imposition.
This would be a big mistake for Affinity to focus on imposition at this stage of the game. I used to do manual imposition in Indesign and Quark years ago, but those days are over. If you are using any digital press from Canon, Ricoh, Xerox, Konica with a Fiery RIP you have basic book imposition options built in.
Now if you mean something like step and repeat, then yes I would agree that should be there... if it is not there. I do not use the software a whole lot, but still would not be a big must have feature over others that need adding and resolving.
There are options out there for imposition in Acrobat as well as stand alone imposition. If you are doing it enough it might be worth looking at Imposition Studio Pro. They have 2 versions a Digital and Offset. Not badly priced for pretty powerful imposition software. I was my main imposition software till our company merged with another and they use a different system.
Not sure if I understand you, because if you select file -> print you have the option to get a document printed with crop marks, which by the way, is the only way I've managed to get the double page images to spread on the bleed in the pdfs so regardless of whether the cut is a bit off there won't be problems with it. @Patrick Connor shouldn't the images on the pdf ready print file also behave that way?
For PDF export, you would export "all pages" [which exports the document as single pages, rather than "all spreads" which is for reading facing pages as pairs], with crop marks and bleed, and the professional printers will/should take care of imposition themselves. More complicated impositions are left to specifically designed applications.
It's very nice that Publisher includes the Booklet/Book printing options, however I don't see any options to adjust for creep. Is it possible? If not, it would be so nice to be able to have a check box to adjust for creep and then input paper thickness. It would be great to not have to rely on Adobe for this.
Book is useful for both perfect binding and/or 3-hole binding (and then creep isn't needed). Signatures are only helpful if one is going to go whole-hog and sew (smyth sewn binding, where signature and creep functionality is necessary).
Personally, as @mac_heibu wrote, if creep & signatures are needed, get an imposition application. If doing a booklet on thicker paper and/or more than 8 or 10 sheets are needed, get an imposition application. At least until such time as at least Serif adds at least creep for booklets.
Right, again though, I'd love to see creep added to Publisher so as to not have to rely on Adobe, or dedicated imposition software (and it couldn't be too complex or take up much GUI real estate in Publisher). Since Publisher offers booklet formatting it would only make sense to include creep. I also don't like having to transfer PDFs from program to program, very easy to have minor issues popup, and easy to overlook them.
Anyway, what non-Adobe software would you all recommended for adding creep?
That said, creep accommodation should be a part of the design process not just the production process because you don't know what you're going to lose until it's lost. As a printer I can use my best judgement, but I shouldn't have to and, honestly, chances are it'll be automatic in software. Given that AFPUB supports independent page sizes the next step seems obvious, although a "creep margin" would be best.

This question was asked seven years ago, and the answer then was "It can't be done". I would hope that, in seven years, Apple has provided a solution. Here's a more complete description of what I want: I have an eight page document that I shall print double-sided, two pages per side, onto two sheets of paper. The page numbers should line up on the sheets as follows:
