Sheet Panel

Sheet panel is the third panel at the right in Imposition Wizard and it lets you specify the output sheet size, pages block position, and duplex printing parameters:

At the top of the panel goes sheet size selector. There you can select a preset or manually specify the width and height of the output sheet. There is also a button for swapping width and height of the sheet.

Then goes the content placement block and finally — the block of duplex printing parameters.

Content Placement

There are three types of content placement in Imposition Wizard:

• Centered — the page block is positioned at the center of the sheet;
• Manual — the page block is positioned at the top left corner of the sheet;
• Minimal sheet — the sheet is cropped up to the page block dimensions.

The margins parameters below define how much to step away of the sheet edges when placing the content. See the pages grid tutorial for more information about margins.

Output Parameters

This section is described in the duplex printing tutorial.

The only parameter that is not covered there is the Sheets order at the bottom of the panel that is self–explaining, as it defines the order of sheets in the output document. You can switch between normal and reversed orders, or put the fronts first.
