Add fold lines

Check the checkbox to enable fold line specification. The specification method for fold lines is the same as when editing or creating an imposition pattern with [Fold].

After specifying the fold and determining the imposition pattern, you can specify the page numbers and shift to head direction.

Note
  1. When [Add fold lines] checkbox is checked and the fold line is specified, the specified fold line information is output to [Finishing] even when using an imposition pattern created with [Grid].
  2. The fold line information specified in [Grid] is only used as fold line information sent to post-processing devices. Depending on the edited content, a conflict may occur between the specified fold line information, and the page number and shift to head information. When editing the page number and shift to head information of a pattern that was generated automatically after specifying the fold line, make sure that no issues will occur in post-processes.
  3. Even if an imposition pattern that was created with [Grid] and specifies fold line information is selected, section proof splitting cannot be performed for it.
