I'm looking for PDF Imposing software. I often get PDF files from customers and cannot import them into Illustrator or any other graphics programs. I've heard about Quite Imposing software but can anyone recommend any other PDF imposing software? I'm especially interested in software that can help me create N-up documents.

We use PDF Snake -
- PDF Snake : The Complete Imposing Solution
- PDF Store - PDF Snake - Imposes (n-up), stamps watermarks, makes booklets, splits pages, and adds bates numbers. 30-day,
Pretty inexpensive (340.00) and it can be set up as a workstaion or a hot folder process - easy to use.
Quite is very popular and easy to use too - you may find more people that could help you.
If you need very sophisticated nesting (where you are running several different sized jobs on the same form) be sure to look at Metrix
LithoTechnics - Metrix, the automatic layout calculator for commercial and gang run printing
hope this helps and good luck with your search !

I thought I'd better jump in and also point out inpO2 for Acrobat 8/9.0 from Dynagram.
The ATOM Edition is inexpensive ($840 US) and can do N-Up, Cut and Stack, Saddle Stitch, Perfect Bound, and step and repeat very easily. ALSO, it's a scalable product so you can add advanced features such as Optimization or upgrade to a full imposition product all based on the same interface so the learning curve is short.
I would suggest you look at inpO2 from the Dynagram web site... there is a FREE 15 day demo there you can download and try all the features as well as short video's on the main features.
I hope you find this useful!

well, i guess it depends on the money you wish to spend and functions you need.
I use crackerjack from pdf store, it was not very expensive and during the test preformed the best of all demos we were able to obtain. It is an acrobat pro plugin, and we acquired licenses for both, win and mac. We use it daily and preforms really ok, it is simple to use and setup.

Better late than never
If you don't have to integrate the imposition software with an already present workflow (like Prinect, Prinergy, Apogee or Rampage) I suggest a look at Speedflow Impose from Onevision. Powerful imposition of PDFs (PDF in, PDF out), fairly easy to use. We did not have a single job that could not be handled by Impose in years; the user-interface and possibilities are miles ahead of Preps.
ONEVISION -Â PDF Imposition
The biggest advantage of SF Impose is it's possibility to define "half-templates". You can e.g. define an 16-up template and tell it that an 8-up is half of that; in the 8-up you define a 4-up as half of that and so on. After that you can choose the 16-up template for a job with let's say 28 pages; Impose uses a 16-up, and finds 12 pages left to work on. 12 is smaller than 16 pages for a full 16-up, so it looks at the previously defined half-templates and chooses an 8-up, then a 4-up for impositioning and arranges them according to prior defined rules into 4-up/8-up (on one form) and an 16-up.
It's pretty nice if you have to impose a lot.

Windows only for the imposition program? I see system requirements list a Mac version of Speedflow Edit 5.5 (Macintosh OSX) but Speedflow Impose 4.0 seems to be windows only? A tip for ONEVISION as well as other software companies, the trial software shouldn't require giving company information out just to try it. I'm seeing that more and more often and, as as a software buyer, it really turns me off. Also listing the prices with the application wouldn't kill ya's.

I've used Preps and SignaStation... and the winner is :
SIGNASTATION !!
Better than Preps (when you discover SignaStation, you realize that Preps is like Neanderthal software)
