PDF Imposition and Print Layout Planning
Plan N-up, step-and-repeat, cut-and-stack, saddle, and bounded signature workflows, then review evidence and limitations in Studio.
Imposition
A lightweight entry point for inspecting canonical Rust-verified page order, side, and sheet geometry. A plan alone is not an imposed PDF or production proof.
Current canonical planning scope
The canonical protocol verifies booklet, bounded multi-booklet, and gathered signature-book sections fail closed; work-and-turn/tumble and finishing execution remain out of scope.
Multi-booklet
Plan independent 4–64 page saddle sections with exact page and sheet ranges.
Signature book
Plan gathered 4–64 page sections with the bounded nested half-fold folio model.
N-up
Use 2-up, 4-up or custom row and column layouts on one sheet.
Cut and stack
Check page order after cutting and stacking production flows.
Step and repeat
Repeat one source page across verified row and column cells.
Workflow
Open the PDF in Studio
Choose the imposition mode and sheet layout
Check side order, cells, gaps, and disclosed limitations
Validate the canonical output receipt, semantic placement proof, and post-imposition preflight together
Production approach
This surface is internal alpha. Production release remains blocked until trusted resolver/native deployment, exact postflight, and release-policy gates close; structural semantic proof is not RIP/render proof.
