Quite Imposing - Known problems

The following problems have been identified in Quite Imposing and Quite Imposing Plus 2.0 since its release. This page was updated on 20 August 2008.

Problems in 2.1

Buttons on control panel grey out

This happens when no document is open, or when a secure document is open. However, in Acrobat 9.0 on the Macintosh only, it also happens when a document is closed with Command+W. Fixed in 2.9

Crashes, hangs in Acrobat 9 on Windows

Acrobat may hang on opening a new document, or show a blank document. This can happen after using the following: shuffle assistant; shuffle preview; choose crop mark style. Fixed in 2.9

Problems in 2.0

Problem with positioning of masking tape

Sometimes the first pieces of masking tape added to a page could be incorrectly positioned. This affected PDF files made with particular software, and could also affect the positioning of page numbers. Fixed in 2.0g

Problems with Manual Imposition

If a rotated page was used as the target (not source), crop marks may be added in the incorrect position. Also, on the Mac only, sometimes a change to the "Crop marks" option or corner selection was not picked up immediately. On the Mac only, it may be impossible to type a negative number as offset.Fixed in 2.0g

"Bad structure" error messages

Due to changes in Acrobat 7, some PDF files get a "Bad structure" error message when imposing. The plug-in now works around this problem. Fixed in 2.0g

Problems with Step & Repeat

If an automation sequence, without user interface, runs step & repeat, it may give correct results unless a step & repeat (automated or otherwise) has already completed.
If "best fit" is chosen in Step & Repeat or n-up, it may choose an orientation where the originals do not fit without enlarging the sheet, even though in the other orientation it fitted.

Fixed in 2.0g

Problem with Shuffle Assistant

If the shuffle assistant was used to set up a layout where pages were not rotated the same across a row, the resulting rule may have been incorrect. Fixed in 2.0c

Problem with shuffling, extra pages and page boxes

If a shuffle rule was used that required extra pages (e.g. rule size of 8, with 4 or 15 pages, anything not a multiple of 8), and the last page in a group had bleed defined, the page boxes for that page could be messed up. Fixed in 2.0c

Problem in Mac with exporting, then importing XML

If XML was exported from the Info dialog, it would not have the correct file type. The XML import would not display it unless Enable: all documents was selected. Note that this does not apply to exporting XML in the Sequences dialog.Fixed in 2.0c

Duplicate entry in attachments palette

When an imposition is made, an XML file is stored in the PDF file as an attachment. In Acrobat 7.0, you may see two attachments called "Quite Imposing command list" in the new attachments palette, rather than one. This seems to be a bug in Acrobat 7. Saving, closing and reopening the file will show only one entry. Both entries shown refer to the same command list.

Imposition by example fails in demo

Imposition by example (automation sequences) did not work in the unlicensed demo. Fixed in 2.0b.

Masking Tape did not support even/odd pages

The masking tape function did not have a choice for even or odd pages only, as in 1.6. Fixed in 2.0b.

Problem with play back of anonymous page sizes

In certain situations, an anonymous page size (one without a name) is not properly recorded into XML files or for playback. Fixed in 2.0a

Lost content on Trim And Shift

On certain pages containing patterns, e.g. radial fill, the pattern can become lost or misplaced when using Trim And Shift with advaned option 2. Fixed in 2.0a

Possible problem with Enfocus Pitstop

We are looking into reports of occasional crashes when used at the same time as Enfocus PitStop. If this happens to you, please let us know so we can better research the issues.
