  Save on click fees!

If you own or lease a
high-speed laser printer,
you are probably obligated
to pay a fee for each
impression that is printed.
You can save money by using
PDF Snake, Quite Imposing, or
Quite Imposing Plus to lay out
several copies of the same
pages on large sheets. For
example, if you are printing
8½" x 11" documents,
you can print them two-up
on 11" x 17" paper.
That way, you'll save money
by cutting the number of
impressions in half.

  Quite Imposing   Quite Imposing Plus
  PDF Snake   Quite Hot Imposing
We offer several software products that do imposition.

Scroll down this page to learn about the individual products — or read more here first to get a general overview.

We offer Adobe Acrobat plug-ins that let you accomplish imposition by pointing and clicking with your mouse from within Adobe Acrobat, and we also offer a stand-alone imposition solution.

Pricing starts at $335.00 USD.

All of these imposition solutions accept PDF files as input and generate PDF files as output.
By reducing every file to a common denominator (PDF), all imposition jobs can be approached in the same manner. There is no need to depend on .PPD files or application-specific filters.

Who would have thought that life could be so easy?


                              page imposition software

So, you can use these solutions to impose documents created in virtually any application, as long as you are willing to convert each document to PDF format before imposing the document.


Here are brief descriptions of the imposition solutions that we offer.

(To see a feature-by-feature comparison of these solutions, check out our comparison chart.)
