Native Impose
Standalone automatic imposition for Enfocus Switch - no third-party engines required.
Native Impose is built directly for Switch. Zero extra software.
Core Value Summary
Native Impose delivers complete, automated sheet assembly directly within Enfocus Switch.
Unlike wrapper apps that require external third-party engines or secondary licenses, Native Impose processes your layouts natively out of the box.
The main mode “Auto Yield” can handle your entire workflow in one element as it reads the PDF size, knows your target sheet size (from settings or variables) and then does the thinking for you.
Handle fold, saddle stitch, step-and-repeat, N-Up, and cut-and-stack workflows for any page size or custom dynamic variable - without hidden costs or engine dependencies.
Feature Comparison Alignment
100% Self-Contained: Runs natively inside Switch. No external software or licenses required.
Universal Format Support: Not restricted to fixed trim sizes. Handles standard sizes and any custom size with no extra setup.
Dynamic Automation: Full variable support for seamless integration with Switch Web Portals, MIS data, and XML job tickets.
Required from the flow designer
A clean input file with a media box origin of 0,0.
A trim box set to the trim size.
Bleed, Media and Crop boxes should be the bleed size.
We recommend you preflight with Enfocus Pitstop and produce a clean input file with a media box origin of 0,0 and no rotation angle.
We provide a normalizer app for you to achieve this without extra software, but recommend Pitstop if you have it.
Discalaimers
This is a lightweight app running inside your Switch Install and on the hardware you have available. Be sure to monitor results, especially on large or complex files.
It is up to the flow designer to test that impositions produce the results required. Both in layout and in the final print output.
