+\begin{itemize}
+\item \texttt{-impose-columns} Lay the pages out in columns rather than rows.
+\item \texttt{-impose-rtl} Lay the pages out right-to-left. When \texttt{-impose-columns} is in effect FIXME.
+\item \texttt{-impose-btt} Lay the pages out bottom-to-top. When \texttt{-impose-columns} is in effect FIXME.
+\item \texttt{-impose-margin <margin>} Add a margin around the edge of the page of the given width.
+\item \texttt{-impose-spacing <spacing>} Add spacing between each row and column FIXME what happens with -impose and fitting is this a spacing minimum?
