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
from InDesign, and then find and delete temporary InDesign data in the C:\Temp folder
(Windows) or the Cleanup At Startup folder (Mac OS).
Note: The Cleanup At Startup folder is an invisible folder at the top level of a Mac OS
computer. Use a disk utility to see it or, to locate it using the Mac OS Find command, hold
down Option as you click the left search criterion menu and choose the Visibility option;
then choose Invisible in the right criterion menu.
Trapping a document
Trapping is a complex process that depends on the interaction of various color, ink, and
printing factors; the correct settings vary, depending on specific printing conditions. Do
not change the default trapping settings unless you've consulted with your prepress
service provider, and read the trapping topics referred to in the following procedure to
make sure that 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
styles 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 styles in
a document. (See "Printing books with conflicting trap styles" on page
To trap a document or book:
1 If necessary, create a trap style with custom settings for your document and press
conditions. (See "Creating and editing trap styles" on page
2 Assign the trap style to a page range. (See
page 329.)
3 Choose File > Print to open the Print dialog box.
4 Click Output on the left side of the dialog box to open the Output panel.
5 For Color, choose either Separations or In-RIP Separations, depending on whether
you're creating on-host or in-RIP separations.
6 For Trapping, choose one of the following options to trap the document:
Application Built-In, to use the trapping engine included with InDesign.
