The printer can do imposition but all quotes and communication have been very specific that the pdf files they receive be ready-to-go, i.e. imposed.

The press is a new Indigo that can do duplexing of 12"x17.1825" sheets.

Thank you Arnis for letting me know which of the possible applications would provide the best help. I downloaded PDF Snake and I think I have the results I need. Print tests will tell.

I print-to-file with crop marks using Acrobat Distiller as my printer, paper size = 11 x 17. Then I use a watched folder to distill the resulting postscript file. Then I use Acrobat batch processing to crop: one crop for odd pages, another crop for even pages (manual stept to run this). The resulting pdf is saved to a different folder. From here I plan to use the batch feature of PDF Snake to impose pages on a 12"x17.1825" paper size, utilizing saved settings. But the folder of cropped pdf files must be dragged manually into the PDF Snake batch window in order to trigger the PDF Snake processing. It is a little disappointing that the process rests on two manual steps.
