Your First Imposition

Last updated: 2026-07-14

Choosing an Imposition Type

QuickUps Imposer offers several imposition types. For your first project, we recommend starting with a simple NUP (pages per sheet) imposition.

NUP (Pages Per Sheet)

NUP places multiple pages of your PDF onto each sheet of paper. This is ideal for handouts, drafts, and documents where you want to save paper. You can choose 2, 4, 8, or 16 pages per sheet.

Booklet

Booklet imposition arranges pages so that when printed doubled-sided, folded, and stapled, they form a booklet. QuickUps handles the complex page ordering automatically.

Cut & Stack

This method arranges pages in multiple columns and rows that are cut apart after printing. It's commonly used for business cards, tickets, and labels.

Step-by-Step: First NUP Job

  1. Open QuickUps Imposer
  2. Upload a multi-page PDF (try one with at least 8 pages)
  3. Select NUP from the imposition type menu
  4. Set Pages per sheet to 4
  5. Choose the page order: Left to right, top to bottom
  6. Enable Gap and set it to 5mm for cut guides
  7. Click Generate and wait for processing
  8. Preview the result, then click Download

Pro Tips

  • Use the preview panel to verify your layout before generating the final file
  • Enable crop marks if you plan to trim the printed sheets
  • For double-sided printing, check your printer's duplex settings
