Here comes a script for imposing docs like business cards, postcards, flyers,
etc.
All it does is asking you for the sheet size, the doc size and the bleeds and
then layouts image frames onto the sheet and puts the corresponding crop
marks on.
Im working on a whole collection of scripts for imposing purposes like
imposing tickets and having them numbered automatically, a more sophisticaded
way of handling bleeds and crop marks, automatic generation of calibration
bars, etc. It is going to take me a while as I am having too much work in our
firm.
This collection is _NOT_ an imposition solution for scribus documents but
rather semi automizes imposition tasks that are traditionally done with
programs like FreeHand, Quark, etc.
