after some testing of the "Multiplatform" suggestions: - Multivalent req'es outdated Java 1.4 to be installed. Trying to run with a current JRE is running into "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: tool.pdf.Impose" error. - PoDoFo (on-line) appears to be unaccessible - PDFSaM is a well-done collection of PDF-tools, but lacks imposition features (in particular like n-up printing) - jPDF Tweak is a bit tricky to use, but appears to be most functional (and, by now, stable). Did not find a settings export or batch function though. Creating an imposition for an A5 folder (including 2-up printing and bleeds) with Scribus and jPDF Tweak req'es... (1) in Scribus - setting Units to "Pt" (because jPDF Tweak will need the correct numbers) - selecting "double page" document layout - setting "blend" for outer, top and bottom (NOT left) margin - export to PDF (2) in jPDF Tweak - in "Page Size" set "Scale Pages", "Portrait" and Width/Hight manually - in "Shuffle/N-up" set "Shuffle", "A4 Portrait" and "Booklet Portrait" - RUN ;-) Maybe this helps one or the other - or for creating a Scribus script.
