Trap Presets panel overview
A trap preset is a collection of trapping settings you can apply to a page or range of pages in a document. The Trap
Presets panel provides an interface for entering trap settings and saving trap presets. You can apply trap presets to any
or all pages in the current document, or import the presets from another InDesign document. If you don’t apply a trap
preset to a trapping page range, that page range will use the [Default] trap preset.
