Folding Marks

Imposition Wizard lets you place special folding marks in the middle of the booklet spread. It is displayed as a dashed line and is aligned with the center of the booklet spread.

To add folding marks click the "+" button at the top of the “Marks” panel and select the “Folding Marks” option in the popup menu:

Here is the list of the parameters you can configure:

• Margin — the distance between the page boundaries and the marks;
• Length — the length of the marks;
• Width — the width (thickness) of the folding mark lines;
• Color — lets you choose one of the pre–defined colors to display the marks;
• Print on — configures where to print the folding marks: on front or back side of the sheets, or on both. This only works in duplex mode, otherwise the marks are always printed.

The folding marks get hidden if there is not enough space for them.

The folding marks are only shown if the booklet layout is used.
