Adding Traps

To create an additional trap, you must first click the two adjacent objects along whose border a trap will be created:

Note: You can also use this function for spreading or choking complex bitmaps.

 

1.Click the first object.

(2).Click on the adjacent object whilst holding the Alt key.

Exception: If an adjacent object is not selected, PDF Toolbox creates a frame based on the color data set without any restrictions caused by background objects (see below for an example).

3.Click inset_6.jpg.

4.Define the parameters (color, direction, width, ...) of the trap.

5.Click "OK".

A choked trap (frame) where all the color values are set to "overprint" (-) reduces the object by the set trap width.

A spread trap (frame) where all the color values are identical to those of the object enlarges the object by the set trap width.
