QI+3 Dire warnings

Dire warnings
If you are about to jump in and use Quite Imposing, here
are a few things to watch out for. But don’t panic!
• If you are imposing and sending the results on for
professional printing, don’t try to guess what the
printer will want from you. They might need to do their
own imposition in special ways. Always check.
• As described in Tips for desktop printing, if you are
printing to a laser printer or similar, putting printed
pages back in to print double sided can cause serious
damage to the printer.
• Most imposition functions break or lose links,
bookmarks etc.
• Form fields and comments might be used to add text or
pictures to a page. Quite Imposing may lose them when
imposing; you have the choice, as described in
Imposition Preferences. Take care as they might
equally have been used to add comments that nobody
intended to print.
• Don’t force Quite Imposing to break the 200 inch
square limit on page sizes in Acrobat. Acrobat will
start to behave oddly. (Some old software may enforce
a 45 inch square limit)
• Trim And Shift and Adjust Page sizes allow you to
reach outside the original page size, and the results of
this aren’t guaranteed. See the longer discussion in
Trim And Shift.
• Use the extract function in Imposition Info as a last
resort, because it can create huge files.
