Full Release

Schaumburg, Illinois – November 10, 2025 – Meadows Publishing Solutions today announced that all DesignMerge software products are now fully compatible with Adobe InDesign 2026. This includes the company’s flagship DesignMerge Pro variable data publishing suite, DesignMerge Catalog for automated catalog production, and the DesignMerge PDF Imposer software—available in both FREE and Unlimited editions.

This update ensures that every DesignMerge solution continues to deliver a seamless, integrated workflow inside Adobe InDesign 2026 for professional designers, printers, and publishers.

About the DesignMerge Product Line

DesignMerge Pro provides a complete, high-performance variable data publishing (VDP) solution that allows users to create personalized print and digital output directly within InDesign. DesignMerge Catalog automates the production of catalogs, price lists, and other data-driven documents, dramatically reducing layout time and errors.

DesignMerge PDF Imposer, the newest addition to the DesignMerge suite, is a professional-grade imposition tool that runs entirely inside Adobe InDesign. It supports all major imposition styles, including N-up, Variable Data, Step & Repeat, Label Sort, and 2-up Saddle Stitch. Using the intuitive Imposition Designer interface, users can create imposition templates directly from standard InDesign documents. At the core of the system is Meadows’ patent-pending Imposition Frame™ technology, which provides ultra-precise control over positioning, rotation, bleed, and spacing—even for the most complex imposition layouts.

About the FREE Version

The FREE edition of DesignMerge PDF Imposer remains available for immediate download and now supports Adobe InDesign 2026. This version provides a streamlined feature set that allows InDesign users to quickly design multi-up layouts of PDFs and graphics—without the need for any third-party imposition software.

Key features of the FREE version include:

• Imposition Designer interface for instant multi-up layouts.
• Full support for trim size, bleed, spacing, and item rotation.
• Automatic crop and bleed marks with layer assignments.
• Support for two-page duplex layouts with proper backup alignment.
• Access to documentation, video training, and online support.

While ideal for smaller projects, the UNLIMITED edition adds powerful capabilities such as N-up variable data imposition, saddle stitch booklets, label sort layouts, batch processing, and complete workflow automation.

Seamless Integration and Workflow Automation

All DesignMerge products are available for both macOS and Windows and are designed for direct integration with Adobe InDesign 2026. Combined with Enfocus Switch or DesignMerge Server, users can achieve fully automated variable data and imposition workflows—eliminating repetitive setup and reducing turnaround times.

“Our goal is to provide Adobe InDesign users with fast, flexible, and fully integrated tools that streamline production from design to output,” said John Kriho, President of Meadows Publishing Solutions. “With this update, DesignMerge customers can immediately upgrade to InDesign 2026 and continue producing variable data and imposed PDF output with no disruption.”
