subj: importing multiple impositions (⌘L)

is it possible? to import multiple impositions (*.pjtf files) at once? for the past umpteen years, i've resorted to importing impositions one-by-one. if a job has cover 'n contents(pages) 'n endsheets 'n dustjacket … this entails the import procedure four times.

tried all manner of key-configs (shift+ctrl / option+apple / apple+ctrl / etc.) … no hot-key combination seems to allow choosing multiple impositions at one time … only one file per import. in the att'd file … note the file "9 back of front (26x20).pjtf" is the only one highlit … add'l files cannot be chosen.

anyone been able to circumvent this limitation? thanks

I kinda doubt it's possible, simply because you need to map the impo to a PageSet at the time of import.

Short answer, no. Long answer, maybe with RBA.

Try to create a job with only the impositions inside and use this as a template job when you want a new job with several impositions. You can do the same for different number of pages. You can even set the colors and assign an APA rule for the job you will use as template.
