In Quite Imposing Plus, most of the features of Remember Last Action are available, with more power and flexibility, using Automation sequences . However, you can still use Remember Last Action, and can also import the actions you remember into an automation sequence. Using Remember Last Action you can save all of the settings for a single function, and give them a name.
For instance, you might want to use n-Up Pages repeatedly to set up a page layout that is 12 inches by 14, with pages to be arranged 3 by 4, and crop marks added. To remember this just do the following steps:
1. Run the action (n-up pages)
and fill in all the necessary values.
2. Make sure that you allow the
function to complete - actually create n-up pages. If
you don't, you will not save the correct values.
3. Select Remember Last
Action from the Plug-ins > Quite Imposing menu, or from the Imposition Control Panel.
4. Make sure that an action type
of n-up pages is shown.
5. Type a name for this action,
which is short enough to fit but which describes it enough for you. For instance "3x4 on 12x14 in, crop".
Click OK . The action is now remembered. If an action by the same name already exists, you are offered the chance to replace it.
Once settings are saved you can play them back with Playback Action .
You can save settings for most relevant actions, but not Reverse Pages , since it has no options to save, and not for Manual Imposition .
You do not need to save the settings immediately; you can save them at any time before you use the action again or close Acrobat. However, it is recommended that you save settings immediately.
All settings are saved in the file qiplusmemory.xml . This file also contains automation sequences. Typically it is found in HOME/Library/Preferences/Quite on a Macintosh system or c:\Documents and settings\username\Application Data\Quite\Preferences on a Windows system, but this location may vary if systems are set up differently.
The qiplusmemory.pdf file can be moved to other systems, even between Windows and Macintosh systems. All settings are moved, though references to background files (see Using backgrounds ) will no longer work.
In Quite Imposing 1.x, settings were saved in a qimppref.pdf file. Using Automation Sequences and the Import command, you can import these into your current qiplusmemory.xml file. This stores them for Playback action, it does not convert them to automation sequences.
