Here is a video on how to manually impose business cards within Adobe InDesign. This shows how to set up the file, how to use the Crop Marks script and why it's important to put in gutters.

I do exactly the same by updating the links with each order. I use Illustrator quite often for this. (Place PDF, aspect, effect, transform... etc) There are scripts for not very expensive that can do this automatically. I am thinking in particular of William Campbell's scripts.

Very cool tutorial, might be helpful for a lot of people. Last year I made the switch to a Script, that basically puts this whole process into a single window and automates it. The price has gone up to 4 bucks a month but it's such a time saver. This video kinda explains what the script is doing behind the scenes, which is cool.

Thanks. My hope is that people find these videos helpful. What is the name of the script you’re using by the way?

[@shigrathFX]

@@miketheprintman It's called ImpositionSoftware.

Do I need to do this if I am creating Data Merged files?

[@miketheprintman]

No. I have another video on this topic where I talk about how to do imposition with a data merge. You might want to check that out instead. That way is especially helpful if you need to impose a large quantity of cards all at one time.
