Imposition Wizard 3.6.7

07 Oct 2025

This is the first public release of Imposition Wizard 3.6, so if you haven’t tried the beta versions yet, you’ll find a lot of nice new features there. Read on for more details.

Preprocessors

The most important feature of the new version is preprocessors. You can now modify the source PDF file before it actually gets imposed: clone or reorder the pages, change page boxes, rotate or scale them and much more.

Marks

There is a number of changes to marks: perforation and plate names marks added, crop and folding marks got “Outside only” option to hide the inner ones.

Custom marks got multiple pages option, so each sheet can have its own mark. They can also be flipped on backs, if needed.

Custom text marks got new variables for layout name and physical sheet number.

Booklets

There’s a number of changes to booklets, as well:

Creep calculator updated to allow more options;
32-up mode added;
Collating marks moved to the “Marks” panel and got more options.

Shuffle Layout

Shuffle layout is now deprecated, consider using the shuffle preprocessor instead.

The layout is still there, but it is time to start switching to preprocessors.

Acrobat Plugin

You need to update the plugin after installing this version of Imposition Wizard! It is done the same way you normally install the plugin.

Adobe made a number of security-related changes to Acrobat, so we had to modify the plugin is installed. Now instead of linking the plugin from inside Imposition Wizard we have to put the plugin itself inside Acrobat. This makes everything much more stable, but the plugin needs to be updated manually when you update Imposition Wizard. You will be notified by the plugin if you need to to do that.

We also added a number of new checks to the plugin, so it displays more helpful messages if something goes wrong.

Other Changes

Besides the changes above there is a number of smaller ones:

Dutch Cut layout got Cut Stack mode and more alignment options;
Hot folders got “buddy presets” option and regular expressions support;
Layout panel was re-designed to put the layout selector on top;
Startup preset and default output folder can be customized in settings;
Sheet sizes list can now be fully customized;
The pages block can be aligned horizontally and vertically on the sheet;
The preflight tool now checks if marks overlap the pages;
Preview can be customized to show/hide pages, frames, top markers and numbers.

Changes Since the Last Beta

In case if you used the beta versions before, here’s what’s been changed:

Page rotation preprocessor got options for selecting even/odd pages;
Custom text parameter “pagesize” was fixed.

That’s all for today, enjoy the new features.
