Abstract:
1. A system for processing a print file comprising an actual page size, the system comprising: a processor operatively coupled with memory; said processor configured for forming a nominal imposition template for imposing a plurality of pages in a plurality of nominal page positions having vertical coordinates, horizontal coordinates, a nominal page size, and nominal page centers, wherein at least two nominal page positions are separated by at least one horizontal center axis, and wherein at least two nominal page positions are separated by at least one vertical center axis; wherein the imposition template is adapted for use with imposition software for creating a modified imposition flat, wherein the imposition software uses actual page data from an incoming print file, said actual page data including: said processor further configured for executing an application adapted to receive the print file and the nominal imposition template, and further adapted to automatically modify the nominal imposition template if the actual page size differs from the nominal page size, forming a modified imposition template, wherein the automatic modification is performed without modifying the scale or proportion of the print file and without intervention from an operator, and wherein the application for automatically modifying the nominal imposition template further comprises: wherein the incoming print file automatically fits into the modified template in its native size proportions; and a printer for printing a print file in its native size proportions and fit into a modified template.
