SmartStream Designer Imposition

[MJNC]

Hey PrintPlanet folk;
I am using InDesign CS5 with SSD.
Is there a way to set up a “Stack & Cut” Imposition?
You know, where page 1 is in the first position on the first form; page 2 is the first position on the second form, etc.; so that when you stack and cut them to size, each cut position falls sequentially?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Peace to the PrintPlanet!!

Yes - in the Layout section of Imposition, select Distribute Records by Job. There's a little thumbnail at the bottom that shows you what you'll get. You can experiment with Horizontal/Vertical and which corner you want to start from, too.

edit:
I assumed you were doing a variable data job for the above advice. If you had a static job but still wanted to use SS for impo, you can load one of the layouts that has "_cnc"at the end (stands for "cut and Collate" I think).

Hi DCurry!
Thanks for the help!
Still testing, but I think it works.
