Quite Hot Imposing



This configurator drives Quite Hot Imposing. It is a processor that imposes the pages in a single PDF file using a specified imposition schema, generating a single PDF file that contains the imposed flats.

The resulting PDF file flows along the “data” output connections, the log file flows along the “log” output connections.
