Greg works for Company ABC and wants to print 25 copies of his new business cards. 

Company ABC has configured a network Hot Folder called “BusinessCards,” so that their 
employees can drop their business card .pdf file directly onto the Hot Folder for printing. 

Greg creates his business cards using the required company business card template, and saves 
the file as GregCard.pdf. The business card template ensures that the cards are printed 
optimally, using the imposition settings specified in the BusinessCards Hot Folder.

Once printed, an operator in the company print shop cuts the cards and places them in 
interoffice mail for the employee.

Company ABC business cards are 2

x

3.25 inches in size.

The following graphic illustrates how the business cards are imposed.
