ProImpose Lite
ProImpose Lite is a streamlined imposition tool designed for designers and small-scale printers who need a fast, reliable way to prepare files for print without leaving Adobe InDesign. It focuses on core layout efficiency, removing the need for external prepress software or manual workarounds.
Core Features
Native InDesign Script: Runs as a standard script within your existing workspace to eliminate the need for third-party software.
Live Layout Preview: Shows you exactly what you are doing in real-time to eliminate the guesswork of reading technical settings.
Settings Saved in Document: Stores configuration data in the file metadata, allowing .indt templates to remember their own imposition.
Automated Trim Marks: Generates professional crop marks with adjustable weights and lengths automatically.
Sequencing Tools: Features built-in Cut & Stack and Loop-to-Fill ordering to suit your specific finishing workflow.
Dynamic Slug Information: Automatically adds essential job details like filenames, dates, and page numbers to the sheet margin.
Custom User Notes: Allows you to place manual text notes anywhere on the sheet for clear communication with production staff.
Automatic Color Bars: Produces CMYK and spot color bars based on the active swatches in your document.
What you’re missing in the Lite version:
Booklet Imposition: Access the full Booklet tab to create printer spreads for saddle-stitch jobs automatically.
Calculated Booklet Creep: Skip the manual math; the script automatically determines creep compensation based on your specific stock weight and page count.
Duplo Finishing Integration: Complete automation for Duplo cutters/creasers, including Code 39 barcode generation and registration marks.
1:1 Duplo Preview: A dedicated, life-size preview window to verify your finishing marks are exactly where they need to be before you hit print.
Custom Sheet Sizes: Break away from standard A-series or SRA defaults and define any custom sheet dimensions required for your press.
Position Shifting: Gain precise control with manual X and Y offsets to accommodate specific gripper margins or plate requirements.
