Creating a trap set from a file edited in PDF Trap Editor

You can create a trap set based on the settings in a currently open PDF file that was edited in PDF Trap Editor. This way, you capture a current trapping solution for future use.

1. Open a file that was refined and trapped in Prinergy, and then edited with PDF Trap Editor.
2. In PDF Trap Editor, click Trap page or select items and click Trap the selection.
   The Trap Set status in the trapping dialog box is From PDF file. That is, PDF Trap Editor reads a set of trapping parameters from the file that was trapped and edited by PDF Trap Editor. These are the parameters you see in the Trap Page or Trap Selection dialog box.
3. Perform one of the following actions:
   • Click Save.
   • Make a number of changes to the trapping parameters in the trapping dialog box. The Trap Set status shows as Modified/unsaved. Click Save.
4. In the Save Trap Set dialog box, type a file name no longer than 18 characters for the trap set file.
5. Save the trap set file in the default Prinergy plug-in TrapParams folder, or in a folder that you can locate on your network.
6. Click Save to close the Save Trap Set dialog box.
7. (Optional) Check the trapping options, and apply the new trap set to the PDF.

The next time that you open this file and click Trap page or Trap the selection, the Trap Set status will still show From PDF file and the trapping parameters from the last changes applied will appear in the trapping dialog box.
