If the processing of a job that uses built-in trapping is interrupted or exhausts your disk space, trapping data may be
left behind on your hard disk. When necessary, you can exit the application, and then find and delete temporary
data in the C:\Temp folder (Windows). In Mac OS, restart your computer.
Trap a document or book
Do not change the default trapping settings unless you’ve consulted with your prepress service provider, and you
understand how trapping options work in the context of your specific document and printing conditions.
When trapping multiple documents in a book, make sure that you assign any custom trap presets to page ranges within
the individual documents of the book. You cannot assign trapping settings to an entire book at once. However, you can
resolve conflicting presets in a document.

If necessary, create a trap preset with custom settings for your document and press conditions.
