QuickStart JoUp Acrobat

1.1 MacOS, Acrobat DC

For Acrobat DC there are two possible installation locations (For all users or the current user)

  1. /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/DC/Plug-ins
  2. ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/DC/Plug-ins

Copy the file "JoUp/MacOS/JoUp.acroplugin" into one of those folders, but not in both! Eventually you have to create the Plug-ins folder

1.2 MacOS, Acrobat 9/10/11

Copy the file "JoUp.acroplugin" into the Plug-ins folder of Adobe Acrobat Professional. For that you have to open the application package by selecting Acrobat Professional with the right mouse button (or together with Ctrl) and select "Show package contents". Within the folder "Contents" you find the folder "Plug-ins".

1.3 Windows, Acrobat 9/10/11/DC

Copy the file "JoUp/Windows/JoUp.api" into the folder "plug_ins" of Adobe Acrobat, e.g.:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\plug_ins

After restarting Acrobat the JoUp palette should be visible and the plugin is ready to use.

2. Imposition of a 32 page doc, DIN A4, 2 pages side on side

2.1 Open the file "Docs->d32_A4.pdf"

2.2 Click on "Impose..." in the JoUp palette

2.3 Choose a template, e.g. "Templates->2Up_A4.pdf"

2.4 Done!

3. Imposition of a 16 page doc, DIN A5, 4 pages on one sheet

3.1 Open the file "Docs->d16_A5.pdf"

3.2 Click on "Impose..." in the JoUp palette

3.3 Choose a template, e.g. "Templates->2Up_A4.pdf"

3.4 Done!

3.5 Hint:  To update only one frame (page) on the imposed document simply select the according frame with the mouse (after activating the JoUp tool) and click on "Impose...". After choosing the source document only the selected frame is updated with content. With this technique it is possible to mix in pages from different docs.

4. Multiple Usage (z.B. business cards)

4.1 Open the template "Templates->AddressCards.pdf"

4.2 Click on "Impose..." in the JoUp palette

4.3 Choose a doc for imposing, e.g. "Docs->AddressCard.pdf"
