<PAGE>
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not Applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Chapter 37 of the Indiana Business Corporation Law (the "Corporation
Law") and the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation

liability for any action taken as a director, or failure to take any action, to
the fullest extent permitted by the Corporation Law and by general principles of
corporate law. The Corporation Law requires that such action or failure to take
action must constitute willful misconduct or recklessness for a director to be
held personally liable.

Item 8. Exhibits
The exhibits listed in the Exhibit Index are included as part of this

Item 9. Undertakings
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by
Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the
most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in
the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such information in
the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do
not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or
furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference
in this registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities being offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the Registrant's articles of
incorporation, bylaws, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

Anacomp, Inc.

Poway, California 92064
Re: Form S-8 Registration Statement of Anacomp, Inc.
Amended and Restated 1996 Long-Term Incentive Plan
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Anacomp, Inc., an Indiana corporation (the
"Company"), in connection with the above-referenced Registration Statement on
Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") being filed by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"), for the purpose of registering 750,000 shares of the
Company's common stock, $0.01 par value ("Common Stock"), that may be offered
and sold pursuant to the grant and exercise of awards under the Anacomp, Inc.
Amended and Restated 1996 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). This opinion is
rendered pursuant to Item 8 of Form S-8 and Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K.
In connection with this opinion, we have investigated those questions
of law as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion.
We have also examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to
our satisfaction, of those documents, corporate or other records, certificates
and other papers that we deemed necessary to examine for purposes of this
opinion, including:
1. The Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended to date;
2. The Company's Bylaws, as amended to date;
3. Resolutions relating to the adoption and approval of the Plan (the
"Resolutions");
4. The Registration Statement; and
5. The Plan.
We have also relied, without investigation as to the accuracy thereof,
on other certificates of, and oral and written communications from, public
officials and officers of the Company.
For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed (i) the genuineness of
all signatures of all parties other than the Company; (ii) the authenticity of
all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to authentic
originals of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies;
(iii) that the Common Stock will be issued pursuant to the terms of the
Registration Statement; (iv) that the Resolutions will not be amended, altered
or superseded prior to the issuance of the Common Stock; and (v) that no changes
will occur in the applicable law or to the pertinent facts prior to the issuance
of the Common Stock.
Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications set forth in
this letter, we are of the opinion that the 750,000 shares of Common Stock that
may be issued pursuant to the terms of the Plan are validly authorized and, when
(a) the pertinent provisions of the Securities Act and all relevant state
securities laws have been complied with, and (b) the shares of Common Stock have
been delivered against payment therefore as contemplated by the Registration
Statement and the Plan, the Common Stock will be legally issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.
This opinion is solely for the benefit of the addressee hereof in
connection with the filing of the Registration Statement, and no person or
entity may rely upon this opinion without the prior written consent of this
firm. This opinion is based on our knowledge of the law and facts as of the date
hereof, and we assume no duty to communicate with you with respect to any matter
that comes to our attention hereof.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5 to the
Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Leagre Chandler & Millard LLP
