Cheap Impostor 3.0.3i

Cheap Impostor is a very nice alternative to fancy page imposition software. It doesnt offer all the features of high-end imposition software.
However, if you want to print and bind booklets, magazines, or even long books, this program might be all the imposition software you need. Its ideal for turning large PDF files into bound books.
What does it do?
Lets say you want to make a magazine from a document youve written. You would like to have the magazine be the size of a sheet of paper folded in half.
Without imposition software the simplest way to transform your document into a magazine would be to use a photo-copier to shrink and re-order the pages so two fit sideways on a sheet of paper, and so that when a stack of them is stapled and folded in half the pages appear in the correct order.
The short story is that Cheap Impostor lets you skip the photocopier step, and produce output from your printer that can directly be turned into a magazine. Further, Cheap Impostor has settings that let you create books with multiple signatures.
