What's New:
PDFs with patterns embedded into the PDF Stream would cause Acrobat to crash during imposition. Fixed.
PDFs with special forms of text encoding would cause letters to drop out in imposed PDF. Fixed.
Some printers marks were being created in RGB color space, rather than CMYK. Fixed.
The names of the color plates (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, etc.) were not being embedded in the imposed PDF. Fixed.
Printer's marks were not appearing on spot-color plates on imposed PDF. Fixed.
In certain instances, the document slug line was not appearing on all plates. Fixed.
In certain instances, the targets (printer's marks) were not displaying correctly on all color plates in imposed PDF. Fixed.
PDFs created using Macintosh's Quartz PDF feature would cause Acrobat to crash during imposition. Fixed.
Changing the Layout settings to 2-Up, 4-Up, or 8-Up, then back again would cause errors. Fixed.
In some PDFs, items with a gradient fill would not display correctly in imposed PDF. Fixed.
In certain instances, stroked lines would either change weight or disappear. Fixed.
Certain types of PDFs were causing "Too Many Arguments" errors during imposition. Fixed.
PDFs with comments added in the PDF stream would cause errors when imposing. Fixed.
Previously, the color bars and grayscale bars were on the same layer, not allowing them to be turned off independently of each other. They are now on separate layers.
Improvements were made in the names and the amount of printer's marks created by Imposer Pro. The layers now created by Imposer Pro are:
Document slug
Color bars
Grayscale bars
Registration marks
Crop marks
Color tags
When opening a PDF from Safari web browser in Mac OS X with a serialized version of Imposer Pro loaded in Acrobat, an error would appear and cause Imposer Pro not to work until Acrobat was re-launched. Fixed.

Requirements:
Adobe Acrobat 6 or later.
