Basics of Imposition
3.
Position the signature with the vertically folded edge to the left and the horizontally
folded edges across the top.
The paper should now resemble a small eight-page booklet (with the tops of pages
joined at the fold).
4.
Page through the booklet as if you were reading it, and number each page
sequentially.
Number the front and back of each page—in general, books have content on both
sides of each page. The front cover of the booklet should be page 1 and the back cover
of the booklet should be page 8. You can also underline each number to highlight the
page orientation.

Printing on both sides of the sheet is called duplex printing; printing on only
one side of the sheet is called simplex printing. Not all copiers support duplex printing;
and of those that do, variations in implementation exist. DocBuilder Pro supports
duplex printing that corresponds to the print options of the output device.
When you unfold the signature, the page numbering should look something like the
following illustration.
