Built by printers, for printers
The PDF editor built for print.
Fix, edit and lay out print-ready PDFs in one native app — with imposition, variable data and automation built in.
Born on the shop floor
Imposio started in a real print shop, out of a simple frustration: prepress tools were either powerful but painful, or easy but limiting. We wanted one tool that respected both — quick for everyday jobs, deep when the job gets tricky. So we built it.
Behind Imposio are more than 20 years of professional software development and over a decade of hands-on work in the print industry. Throughout those years, we kept encountering files that needed fixing before they could go to press — and no single tool could handle everything we needed. We had to piece together our workflow across multiple applications, so we built the tool we had always needed ourselves. Every feature solves a real problem we faced at the press. And under the hood, Imposio runs on proven, time-tested engines printers have trusted for years — so your files render exactly as expected, every time.
Everything your prepress needs
Built-in PDF editor
Edit text, shapes, images and layers right inside the PDF — no round-trips.
Intuitive imposition
N-up, booklets and custom sheets with a layout you can actually see and trust.
Automation & scripting
Generate or record scripts from your work, then tweak — no coding from a blank page.
Prepress precision
Inspect the content stream, place crop and registration marks, control every object.
Production export
Output to image formats including multi-page TIFF and WebP, ready for the RIP.
Variable data printing
One template, one data file — a thousand personalised pieces, ready to impose.
New in Imposio
The latest releases add hands-off automation and AI that is fully under your control.
Hot folders
Drop a PDF into a watched folder and Imposio runs your imposition or script on it automatically — with a dashboard, logs and pause/resume. A headless server mode is included.
AI assistant
A built-in Claude chat that knows your document and writes the scripts for you. Strictly opt-in: off by default, and one click in the status bar switches it on or off — while it is off, nothing ever leaves your computer.
Drive it from Claude
Connect Claude Desktop or Claude Code over MCP and control Imposio in plain language — a Claude subscription is enough, no API key needed. The same one-click switch in the status bar decides when it is reachable.
You don't write scripts from scratch
Imposition, document edits, or an edit layer — Imposio hands you the script.
- Generate a ready-to-run script from any imposition, edit layer, or document operation.
- Or record your actions — Imposio writes the script as you work.
- Then tweak it to fit your exact workflow — no blank page, no guesswork.
Variable data printing
Personalised cards, numbered tickets, address labels, certificates — design the template in Imposio, connect a data file, and Generate: a copy of the template for every record — single page or a multi-page set.
- Feed it CSV, Excel, ODS or JSON — or just a counter for serial numbers, no data file needed.
- Variable text, multi-line frames and per-record photos, with {name}-style placeholders.
- Fast and lean: 500 records add the variable content, not 500 copies of the artwork — then impose the result right away.
Sensible defaults. Full control when you want it.
Open a file and the right thing just happens — standard sizes, bleeds and marks ready to go. Need precision? Every value is yours to set: crop-mark length and offset, which sheets get marks, gutters, scaling and page boxes down to fractions of a millimetre. Power without the learning curve.
Already have imposition software?
Imposio brings imposition, editing, prepress and automation together in one place — here's what it can do for your work.
- Edit the PDF, not just impose it. Fix text, swap images, and add shapes and marks right inside the file.
- Automate without writing code. Generate or record scripts from your work, then run them across whole batches.
- Any size you need. From tiny labels to grand-format sheets, work at the exact size your job calls for.
- See and trust the layout. Live visual preview, a content-stream inspector, and low-resolution image warnings before you print.
- Everything in one place. Imposition, editing, prepress and export in a single native tool for macOS and Windows.
- Yours, on two computers. A one-time price, two machines, and the version you have keeps working.
