I've noticed that there is only 8-up saddlestitch and perfect bound imposition available.
I normally work with a 4 up imposition where i have to do it manually...
Plate sizes ranges from 21.654" * 25.591" to 24" * 36".
Also the image should be on 2.25" from the right side of the plate and centered vertically. 0.25" space vertically between the center of the spread and registration marks 0.25" * 0.25" in size. Sometimes I have to use third party software to achieve a perfect 4 up imposition when I have a document with more than 50 pages.
Is there any way I can add the 4 up imposition feature?
I've uploaded a file to show what I mean. Red Guidelines indicte bleed areas.

You're an absolute genius my friend...
It looks like it will function perfectly.
Love the way it works.
I will have to get accustomed to this... thanks you so much.
I'm sure this will save me lots of time now.
Thanks again....
Ps. I've noticed that I will have to manually bleed my pages before i do this? Am i correct?
Thanks again. Will keep you posted.
Hey Adrian,
Glad it's going to work for you. It's not that hard and once you start working with it you should find things a bit easier. Like I said, we used to RIP directly from corel to our Heidelberg DI74, so you shouldn't have too many problems.
As for bleed, if your artwork is designed with bleed and placed on the page, then there shouldn't be any problems. If I understand you correctly, your base page size in the corel document should be equal to your single page trim size. So for an 8.5x11 sheet with say 1/8" bleed (just using approximates as we use metric here in Oz), your bleed would just need to extend off the page size by 1/8". Using a metric example (so I can give you exact numbers), an A4 book (210mm x 297mm), page size for the design is set at 210mm x 297, and artwork is laid out with a minimum of 2mm bleed, so design extends out to 214mm x 301mm. Then when you print-imposed to the platesetter, the trimmed size yeilds 297mm x 420mm with artwork occupying 301mm x 424mm. Clear as mud?
Again, if you have trouble, just let me know and I'll see if we can work it out.
*cheers*
