You did an excellent job explaining creep. It never occurred to me that
such a feature was needed, but it was immediately obvious when you first
explained it!

Now, what is "signature"? To me, the term only applies to things like
signing checks, letters and contracts.

A signature is a "press form". That is, a collection of pages from a
printing press.

Think "section".

For instance, we publish a large weekly newspaper. Last week, our paper
was 128 pages.

The press we print on is not physically capapble of printing a 128 page
tabloid newspaper in a single print run. So we print in "signatures".
In the case of a 128 page paper, we would print one 64 page sig, and
two 32 page sigs (to account for the color demands. In a 64 page sig on
our press, we only have 16 pages of full-color available, 16 pages of
black plus one spot color, and 32 pages black only. In a 32 page sig,
we have full color vailable on every page).

I downloaded the software and tried to run it with no luck. When I tried
to force it to open a document, the result was: "The document "06-11.pdf"
could not be opened. CheapImposter cannot open files in the "pdf"
format." The preferences were grayed-out, so it appears necessary to have
a document open before you can set them.

Have you read the "How-to Guide"? I just flipped through it but it
appears to explain things reasonably well. With pictures.

The first PDF I tried it on was rejected as it was encrypted, but on
the second it pproduced a nicely imposed document.

I suspect my problem is related to using Rosetta on this Intel iMac. If I
can get it to work, it looks like a useful program for club newsletters
and the like.

When I can shove my daughter and her friend off our Intel iMac I'll
test it.

As for newsletters, it would be useful for printing letter size pages
onto 11 x 17, for folding and distribution if you have a tab siz
printer available.
