I wonder if anyone (any platform) has made imposition simple.

I know that when I set out to make it programmable my heart sank at the complexity; John Wallace, responsible for the documentation at Beebug, groaned at the the mention of it.

We have talked of a graphical interface, I can't recall who was doing that, but he left the RISC OS world.

Some imposition is complicated - easy enough to say you want N pages on a sheet of paper, but that's only the start.
