Workflow

The way Montax Imposer behaves can be modified (Menu/Edit/Settings) according to the user's needs in many different aspects. For example making Montax Imposer open the last imposition on start-up, do not ask to save imposition and close it after PDF is generated can be a good set of settings for fast, simple and repetitive impositions. When working with more complicated impositions it is probably a good idea to enable asking to save imposition when closing it (even though the undo function makes it possible to re-open an imposition which was closed and not saved by accident). The generated PDF can be opened in Acrobat or in another application where it can be checked or printed.It is also possible to make the program restore everything as it was (including pages for imposition) when it was last closed.

Starting the standalone application

Montax Imposer can be started with parameters, e.g. when running from the command line, using a shortcut or script. The parameter can be an imposition file, a template or a PDF for imposition (including path). There can be more than one parameter (only the first .mox file is taken into account), so you can use e.g. a template file and a PDF file as parameters, so this template will be opened and the PDF imported into pages for imposition. You can of course use an imposition file as a parameter and thus open this imposition including pages. If the template or imposition file is not used and the PDF is, this PDF will be imported into the last used imposition. There can be more than one PDF file and all of them will be imported into pages for imposition.
