Automatic imposition will do the most common impositions for your digital printer. It will automatically do folders for A3, A4, A5 or US Letter page sizes in either saddle stich of perfect binding. For the formats A3, US Letter, A4, 210x210, A5, A6, A7, 99x210mm and business cards in the most common sizes, it automatically does step and repeat, N-Up and cut and stack imposing.

Note that some other page sizes will work, if not, the job will fail. All settings for the app can be set by variables, giving you the possibility to send jobs through the web portal client or other systems that can access the submit point. One example flow with a pre-configured submit point is part of the package. This app uses callas pdfToolbox Server as the imposition engine, and consequently, you have to have it installed on your Switch server.

You have a few settings besides the imposing settings themselves; you can add page boxes to the imposed area with trimbox and bleedbox. This can be useful for post-processing of the imposed result. You can set the gap between the pages on the sheet and also set the bleed for the pages. There is also an option to add a slug line and for that you can add your own text to the slug line, it can also be rotated and positioned.

New in version 9 is the option to set bottom and left margins to the imposition on the sheet.

The imposed sheet sizes are 458x318 mm or the larger 530x750mm (B2), if you need any other size of the resulting PDF it can easily be changed with a post-processing profile in pdfToolbox or PitStop Server.

The plugin came with a error. Apparently I need some software before the switch plugin will work. But there is no information about what I need.
So can not recommend this for imposition.it might be good if you have the extra software, but I can't tell.
