Duplicate a trap preset

•
Drag a preset to the New Preset button at the bottom of the panel.
Delete a trap preset
1 In the Trap Presets panel, select the preset(s), and then do one of the following:
•
Click the Delete button.
•
Choose Delete Presets in the panel menu.
2 If prompted to replace a trap preset, choose one in the Delete Trap Preset dialog box that appears. This dialog box
appears if at least one of the selected presets has been assigned to a page.
3 Click Yes to confirm the deletion.
Note: You cannot delete either of the two built-in presets: [Default] and [No Trap Preset].
Import presets from another InDesign document
1 In the Trap Presets panel, choose Load Trap Presets in the panel menu.
2 Select the InDesign file and click Open.
Assign a trap preset to pages
You can assign a trap preset to a document or to a range of pages in a document. Pages with no abutting colors will
print faster if you disable trapping on those pages. Trapping doesn’t actually occur until you print the document.
Trap assignments list the presets you have applied to various pages; the trap assignments are updated each time you click Assign.
1 In the Trap Presets panel, choose Assign Trap Preset in the panel menu.
