PreArt IX Imposition — App Store rankings

About this app

The developer's US App Store description, in full.

Import your artwork, pick your sheet size and get a print-ready PDF for your digital press. The app calculates how many pieces fit and places them precisely: nothing to count or move by hand. It requires a subscription, purchased inside the app; the first 14 days are free. Imposition and numbering in one program. Pick your sheet size, import your artwork and the layout builds itself. A properly exported PDF, with its trim size and its bleed, comes in exactly as it is: the app changes nothing. With your sizes saved it comes out in seconds, and the job that comes back every week repeats with one click. The app lays the pieces out to get the most out of the sheet, or you force a Vertical or Horizontal layout, and everything recalculates live when a measurement changes. Want more pieces? One button shrinks the artwork just enough to fit another row, and tells you by how much before you apply it. The back builds itself with the flip your press expects, left-right or top-bottom, and you flip through each side before you export. Rotate any pieces you want: their numbering rotates with them. THE NUMBERING Tickets, invoices, raffles, receipt books: they get numbered as they're laid out, with no other program and no numbering files. Type the first number and the last, drag the box onto ONE piece, and every piece comes out numbered in the same spot. Add as many number boxes as you want on the same piece (stub and body share the same number), each with its own font, size, color and rotation. In Cut & Stack, every book comes off the guillotine already in sequence, no hand sorting; plus a Sequential mode, with Copies, an N° prefix and extra zeros. Your file rules: if it has bleed, it stays as it is. If it doesn't, you can pull the bleed from the inside, and the app tells you the finished trim size. The app adds every cut guide on its own: at the corners of each piece, or on a guide sheet added as an extra page, with the outline in the color you pick, to sit on top of the stack. The safety margin shows the area your printer can't reach, before an edge gets clipped. And every sheet carries an orientation mark, so a sheet placed upside down in the stack shows right away. A few clicks and your PDF is ready to print, from an office printer to a digital press, and it travels safe: your CMYK and your vectors arrive untouched, nothing rasterized, nothing converted. And it's lightweight with no loss of resolution: however many sheets you number, your artwork goes into the file once — no hundred-megabyte PDFs. It opens PDF, AI, JPG, PNG, TIFF, PSD, HEIC and WebP. Placing an image? It asks what piece size to print it at, and warns if it's low-res. Five languages, inches and centimeters, dark and light appearance. No account, no cloud: your jobs stay on your Mac. TRIAL AND SUBSCRIPTION The first 14 days are free, with no watermarks and no limits: use it in production before you decide. After that, the subscription renews automatically, with a monthly or a yearly plan; at times a one-time lifetime license is also offered in the app. The app shows your country's price before you start. Cancel anytime from your App Store account, and if you cancel during the trial, the full 14 days are still yours. WHAT IT DOESN'T DO It doesn't combine different jobs on one sheet (it repeats one artwork, with its back when the job has one), doesn't build booklets or magazines, doesn't generate QR codes or variable data, and layouts are rectangular: no die-cut shapes, no plotter marks. It doesn't add offset color bars. And it never touches your color: no profiles, no conversions, your artwork passes through untouched. EPS files don't open: save them as PDF. Made by printers for everyday work. Just need to know how many pieces come off the sheet? PreArt IX CutMaster is free and tells you instantly.
