Hi. I'm the author of PDF Snake. I understand that people are wary of pure in-the-cloud software, so I built PDF Snake 6 with those concerns in mind. You can visit PDF Snake, and then unplug your computer's network cable and PDF Snake will still impose documents without a network connection. The Chrome and Edge browsers will offer to install PDF Snake's icon on your dock/start menu, so it works like any other application installed on your machine. It's even available for download from the Windows store.

The number of PDF Snake subscribers has grown rapidly since the cloud version of PDF Snake was first published in April of 2021.

I'm always interested in learning ways to improve it.

Imposition Studio is a good one. Imposition, Never be so easy! download the trial and check it out.
Hi. I saw a post about this. I'm checking out Imposition Studio v7 for our digital press. Only have so many days to do that. I'll keep looking but I'm trying to figure out how the extra pages work. Not seeing anything so far, on how to do an odd pg booklet. example 26 pgs. I want 8 page sigs. so this will give me 3 - 8pgrs and the 2 extras I want 2up head to foot work and back. Can you give me an idea or direct me somewhere for the answer. I've emailed support, haven't heard back yet. How is support with these guys BTW? thx Rande

Support has been great for me, they generally get back to me in a day and have even put together imposition templates for me when struggling with something not typical.

I would split the imposition up. I am assuming it is a saddle stitch book otherwise you could do that all if coil binding. Do an imposition and select the 24 pages you want for saddled stitch. Save and export. Then do a new imposition for the extra 2 pages 2 up, 2 sided on a 12x18 sheet (assuming that is your sheet size).
