New features – full list
Detailed manual pages follow.

• Customize control panel
  o Change the QI+ control panel or create new panels which can be shown separately (different panels for different jobs)
  o Rearrange/remove the standard control panel buttons
  o Add buttons to run automation sequences
  o When a sequence is edited you can automatically add it
  o Add buttons to open other panels
  o Quick reset of control panel available

• Variable data – new feature: using a CSV or TXT file, add text or pictures to many PDF pages.
  o Work with master pages – making copies of a page and adding text or graphics to each copy; or
  o Work without master pages – add text or graphics to entire file.
  o Use a CSV or TXT (tab delimited) file from Excel or other sources. (Semicolon delimited is also available).
  o Text is added with the features of Stick On Text and Numbers (choose fonts, position, angle, colour etc.) The CSV file contains only the text to add
  o Images are added from a master file; you put all the images you want to add on separate pages. Images are added with features of Stick on PDF Pages (choose position, scale, etc.) The CSV/TXT file contains page numbers only.
  o Add text blocks, setting information and fixed text over lines, closing gaps left by blank information etc. for mailing labels and similar production.

• Split and merge (partials) – new feature.
  o Apply different commands to different parts of the same file. For example, lay out some sheets as 4 x 2 and some sheets as 2 x 2
  o Split by page number, or into equal size pieces
  o If splitting by page number, this can do the job of a Shuffle Pages command to prepare the piece, including re-ordering and rotating pages
  o New Import sequence feature will help in setting up the different commands for each part
  o The results can be combined into one PDF, or left separate (limit of 9 documents in Acrobat, unlimited in Quite Hot Imposing).
• N-Up flow can flow backs from right to left, for easier layout, especially of ad hoc jobs
  o By flowing from right to left on the back, you can ensure that the back is a mirror image of the front.

• Creep scaling
  o Traditionally Creep has shifted pages to allow for binding; with the scaling option, the contents are scaled onto a different area, so nothing is lost on trimming
  o Useful when working with a tightly fitting design

• Quite Imposing Plus menu reorganized
  o Shorter menus, because they were too long for some screens and too hard to find individual items
  o Match the arrangement of the control panel.

• Page monitor – new feature
  o Shows the page sizes for the current document, including bleed, trim etc.
  o Can optionally show other info
  o Can stay on screen and track whatever document is current
  o Can start automatically when a document is first opened in Acrobat

• Trim & Shift - add or crop all four edges by a fixed amount.
  o Previously could only add or crop one side at a time, or set to a fixed size

• Manual imposition performance hugely improved for large files (high page count)
  o As well as improved performance, in some cases files would grow much larger from manual imposition, and there are major improvements here too.
  o This improvement affects Manual Imposition Repeat in all cases
  o Other manual impositions of many pages will see improvement in Quite Hot Imposing, and in Quite Imposing Plus when run in “Advanced Batch Mode”.

• Conditions – new feature
  o Can be used in automation sequences
  o Choose a different automation sequence according to the status of the current document
  o Can check page count (e.g. page count less than 10), page size (e.g. no page sizes larger than …), metadata (e.g. file name does not include SPECIAL)
  o Can be used to choose different layouts, especially partials, according to page count

• Import sequences – new feature
  o Sequence import can be used in Sequence editor, and in setting up new Split/merge (partials) and Conditionals commands.
  o Import from another sequence or from XML.
  o Can import a copy, and then edit the commands
  o Can import as uneditable, and see the sequence or XML used to setup, and use Refresh to update this copy.
  o Can convert uneditable to editable.

• Message command – new feature
  o Can be used in automation sequences.
  o Especially useful with conditions, for example can stop with an error if the page count or page size is not expected.

• Filter sequences by name
  o Designed to help users with large numbers of automation sequences
  o When a sequence is to be chosen, you can filter so you see only sequences and categories with a matching name.

• Enfocus Switch related feature
  o Can automatically strip the special prefix _XXXXX_ from file names
