FAQ
Are my PDFs uploaded to a server?
No. Imposition runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript and pdf-lib. Your files never leave your device, and the tool works offline.
What imposition types are supported?
Five: 2-up (2 pages side by side), 4-up (2×2 grid), 8-up (4×2 grid), 16-up (4×4 grid), and custom (any rows × cols). Higher values fit more pages per sheet but each page becomes smaller, saving paper.
What page orders are available?
Three: (1) Sequential — pages laid out left-to-right, top-to-bottom. (2) Snake-fold — alternating row direction for accordion-fold binding. (3) Booklet — saddle-stitch-style alternating order (page N, 1, 2, N-1, …) per sheet for fold-and-staple booklets.

(1) 5 imposition types (2/4/8/16-up, custom). (2) 3 page orders (sequential, snake-fold, booklet). (3) 5 paper size presets (A4, A3, Letter, Legal, Tabloid). (4) Imposition grid calculator.

No. All imposition calculation and PDF assembly runs 100% locally in your browser. History is stored in localStorage on this device only — nothing is uploaded to any server.
