PetrXB, can I presume that you work for the developer? If so, the links to 1.01 demo appear to download the 0.93 demo version (the “about” option does not show the version number, however that is what the installer states).

Apart from that the product appears to work as intended and is simple/intuitive enough for users with impo software experience. Thank you for sharing.

Stephen, thank you very match for our post. I am sorry for mistake, bat the 0.9.3 is only omission in setup description, in fakt it is realy 1.0.1 version. Corrected.
I worked in pre-press and press a long time and now I developed (together with others) our own imposition software, because none of the others did not satisfy for me
I will be grateful for any comments and suggestions.

Well PetrXB, it is a saturated, feature rich market with many long established players with large user bases and happy customers that are willing to share their praise... What makes your software different, or is it just the same? Is it program features? Speed or ease of use? Price point? License options? Better support? Free upgrades? Why would a prospective customer buy your product over similar PDF impo tools such as - PDF Snake; ARTS PDF Crackerjack; Quite Imposing; Imposal; Speedflow Impose; Callas PDF Toolbox, Absolutely Imposing, Dynagram inpO2, Devalipi Imposition Studio etc?

P.S. Take a look at this clever little app for iOS or Android devices:

I am not aware of any common PDF imposing tools that allow the rotation of some jobs on the sheet to be different than most of the others (in order to maximise sheet use when paper grain is not a concern, screenshot attached).

Hello Stephen,
I tried to combine simple and easy to use plugin with possibilities of large softwares - live previews, complex and customizable imposition scheme etc.
These softwares are good, but each of these softwares had some "but..." (although I obviously used it for many years, but that's way always missing something...). If succeeded, must say customers...
In the design of imposition algorithm I take into account also rotated pages, but each extra function complicates the program control... Still I assume development the version with separately adjustable pages.
Already in this version it is possible to independently page rotate, but must be in "table" - pages are organized in rows and columns. In this version is also possible to independetly impose more documents, although this feature will be more usable in future version.
It is always a difficult decision between a number of features and consuming on program control. If a customer's request for additional functions, may be new version available soon. Therefore be grateful for the feedback and requirements for the program.
