Mixer
Mixer is a powerful tool that is able to create even the most complicated and complex impositions in one step.
Mixer works with the same rules as Page Mixer
, but now the new document with reordered pages is created virtually only without actually wasting time with reordering, duplicating or rotating the pages in the original document, saving the new file and then working with the new file.
Mixer reorders the pages in document virtually and imposes them immediately.
There are two ways to set up the Mixer:
- Use the Page Mixer and save the rule. After clicking Mixer, choose the saved rule..
- To use temporary (unsaved) rule for Mixer, click the DEFINE button in the dialog. Now a temporary rule can be entered.
It is strongly recommended to use saved rules only.
Examples:
-
Copy 4 cards of 90 x 50 mm to SRA3 (320 x 450 mm) sheet:
Go to Page Mixer
and create a preset with 4 pages in group and the rule "(1T4)#6".
Save the rule as "4 cards 90x50 to SRA3" and go back to the main dialog. Put the dialog to default state (sheet size SRA3, borders 8 mm, spacing 4 mm), click Mixer and choose the rule. Then click OK.
-
Impose 16 pages document as booklet to A1 sheet.
Go to Page Mixer
and create a preset with 0 pages in group and the rule "B(1TN)".
Save the rule as "Booklet, one sheet" and go back to main dialog. Choose format A1, borders 8 mm and spacing "0 10". Check the N-up imposition.
Choose your saved Mixer rule.
Save the dialog's settings for later use.
It is recommended to save all the settings with detailed description for later use.
It is not possible to use function "Fill Sheet" with N-up imposition while Mixer is in use.
