Notice that:
• The folds subdivide the sheet into areas representing pages in
the final booklet.
• Page numbers do not appear in book-reading order.
• Some page numbers are upside down.
Some pages must be printed upside down on the sheet in order
for them to appear right-side up in the final booklet, and pages
must also be printed out of numerical sequence on the sheet in
order for them to appear in numerical sequence in the final
booklet.
This process of folding paper and numbering pages to
approximate the finished piece is called making a folding model,
and it is a common first step in planning a print job. The folding
model provides valuable information about page placement, which
you can use to create a plan, or sketch, of how pages are placed
on the sheet. This plan is called a layout.
DocBuilder Pro frees you from the tedious and error-prone
process of creating accurate physical models of the imposed book
in order to lay out pages. With DocBuilder Pro, you simply open
the source file to be imposed and specify how many rows and
columns of pages to image on a sheet. DocBuilder Pro simplifies
this process even further by providing predefined layouts for
common impositions such as booklets and brochures. You can also
save your own custom layouts for easy reuse.
Printer’s marks
In addition to specifying the placement of pages on a sheet, the
layout also specifies how the finished sheet will be cut and folded.
For example, the layout specifies whether the large finished sheet
is folded and cut to create a booklet, or simply folded (and not
cut) like a map.
