Specify booklet settings in Fiery Impose

Booklet settings include binding settings for booklet product intent, rows and columns, and creep (the shift of the content area caused by the incremental fold of signatures in Saddle and Nested Saddle binding).

Specify binding settings for Booklet

You can specify a binding method and edge options. The binding method affects the order in which pages are placed on the sheet. There are no binding selections available for layouts with more than two columns or rows.

Set one of the following binding methods:
- Saddle
- Nested Saddle
- Perfect
Set one of the following binding edge options:
- Left binding
- Right binding
- Top binding
Note: Top edge binding is available only when the layout setting is either two rows by one column or two rows by two columns.

Specify row and column settings for booklet product intent

For booklet Layout Row & Column settings, you can specify 1 x 2, 2 x 2, or 2 x 2 Repeat Booklet.

Select the Layout Row & Column menu.
Select 1 x 2, 2 x 2, or 2 x 2 Repeat Booklet.
Which settings are available depends on the binding style.
Select the Align to center check box to define the initial placement of the page content.
If specifying a creep setting, and selecting In, you can use Align to center to space the imposed page or specify a gutter to indicate the amount of creep.

Note: For the Repeat Booklet binding layout, the Style setting modifies the orientation of the booklets. For Gangup layouts, the Style setting modifies the orientation of the pages.
