Specify settings using trap presets
A trap preset is a collection of trap settings you can apply to pages in a PDF. Use the Trap Presets dialog box for
entering trap settings and saving a collection of settings as a trap preset. If you don’t apply a trap preset to a trapping
page range, that page range will use the [Default] trap preset, a collection of typical trap settings that are applied to
all pages of a new document.
Note: In Acrobat, trap presets and their assignments apply to the document only while it is open; trap settings are not
saved in the PDF. This behavior is different from InDesign, where trap presets and their assignments are saved with the
InDesign document.
