The Zoom tool, Pan tool, Preview mode, Layout mode, Mixed Page mode, and Fixed 
Page mode buttons are located in the upper-right corner of the window.

Selecting the Pan or Zoom tool changes the appearance of the cursor to indicate you 
can use that tool to manipulate the preview. When you choose Preview, Layout, Mixed 
Page, or Fixed Page mode, a blue border appears around the selected view, and the 
appearance of the job in the Imposition window changes immediately.

Imposition settings appear grouped in the Sheet, Layout, Scale, and Finishing panes to 
the left of the window. To expand or collapse a pane of settings, click the bar for that 
pane.

The Surface menu, View menu, and scroll bar appear at the bottom of the window. 
These menus and controls affect the display in the Imposition window immediately.

Use the view mode buttons to switch between a page view and a layout view of the job. 

•

—approximates the appearance of the final printed output very 

closely; for this reason, it is sometimes called a WYSIWYG (“what you see is what 
you get”) preview.

•

—displays numbered, generic pages that allow you to determine the 

location of source document pages in the imposed job. You can rotate individual 
pages in a layout view.

Different viewing modes may display different sets of printer’s marks; for more 
information, see the following table.

Preview mode puts more stress on your system’s processor than Layout mode. 

To improve performance on slower systems, perform most of your work in Layout 
mode, switching to Preview mode only when you must see content. 

In Layout mode, you can rotate individual pages on the sheet. For more information, 
see

Use the Zoom tool to increase or decrease the level of magnification in the Imposition 
window from 12% to 800%.

The View menu at the bottom of the window provides several ways to set the level of 
magnification to display the contents of the window. The View menu allows you to 
choose preset zoom values ranging from 50% to 800%. You can also choose to make 
the current preview fit in the window. In addition to preset zoom percents, you can 
specify a custom zoom value.

The cursor changes to a magnifying glass in the preview area of the Imposition 
window.

The magnifying glass cursor displays a plus sign (+) to indicate increased magnification 
of page views. Each time you click, the current magnification doubles, up to a 
maximum of 800%.

Each time you click, the current magnification is reduced in half, down to a minimum 
of 12%.

Select Zoom In or Zoom Out from the menu that appears. Zoom In doubles the 
current magnification, and Zoom Out reduces the current magnification by half.

To preview the entire surface, click the View menu and choose Fit Page.

The View menu changes only the appearance of pages, not their actual content. 

To change the scaling of pages in finished output, change the Scale area settings.

The current zoom value appears in the Zoom dialog box. 

Enter a new zoom value or select a value from the menu.

The window reflects the change immediately. 

Use the Pan tool to drag the entire preview around in the window. For example, if you 
are working with many pages on a large sheet, you can use this tool to drag a particular 
portion of the sheet into view.

At the bottom of the window, you can manipulate the content view using a standard 
scroll bar or the Surface menu. The Surface menu opens the Go To Surface dialog box, 
which allows you to specify numerically the surface to display in the preview area.
