Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions regarding PDF imposition and prepress signature layout settings.
Q.What is PDF imposition?
Imposition is the arrangement of a document’s pages onto larger print sheets. This ensures faster printing, simplifies folding, minimizes paper waste, and speeds up binding.
Q.What are saddle-stitch and perfect binding?
Saddle-stitching staples nested pages down the center spine (like a magazine). Perfect binding glues folded sheet signature blocks together at the flat spine edge (like a paperback book).
Q.Can I customize crop marks and colors?
Yes. You can toggle crop marks, fold ticks, registration targets, color calibration strips, and prepress text labels directly inside the layout studio.
Q.Is my document uploaded to any external server?
No. The entire PDF compilation, page copying, and layout mapping run client-side inside your browser sandbox. Your data remains completely private.
