Editing trap geometry

Using the Properties Editor in PDF Trap Editor, you can adjust trap shape (geometry) where two-and three-colored traps meet.

1. From within the PDF Trap Editor session, select the trap to reshape.
2. In the Properties Editor dialog box, select the trap's icon in the left pane.
3. To automatically prevent the trap from extending into thin objects, select Automatic in the Trap Trimming list.
4. In the Line Join Style list, select Bevel (default), Miter, or Round.
5. Select Miter Limit. The Miter Limit shortens the mitered trap to a bevel according to the angle of the join.
   The more acute the angle of the join, the more beveled the mitered trap. The range is 1 to 100.
6. Select Mitered Corners to miter the corners of a trap located where at least three colors meet. This reduces ink buildup at the intersection of the three colors.
7. Select Clipped Chokes to angle the ends of a choked trap located where at least three colors meet. In case of a misregistration, the angled contour is less noticeable.
8. Click Apply.
