54 CHAPTER 3 PageMaker Plug-in Pack Features Top, Bottom, Left, and Right Margins Specifies the amount of space that surrounds the actual printer spread after trimming. You can specify margin values for all the printer-spread styles. Gap Specifies the amount of space placed between pages (the right side of the left page and the left side of the right page). You can specify a Gap value for all the printer-spread styles except Saddle Stitch. Note: For Perfect Bound documents, if you are creeping in (with a negative value), the minimum Gap value is the width of the Creep value. If you're manually creating signatures (for example, if there are different stocks in the same document), you can enter a Gap value to specify a starting creep for spreads that belong to different signatures. Bleed Specifies the amount of space used to allow page elements to print beyond the edge of the trimmed page. This value affects only the face of a printer spread (the top, bottom, and outside page edges). The field accepts values between 0 and the smallest margin. You can specify a Bleed value for all the printer-spread styles. To control the bleed between pages of Perfect Bound documents, use Crossover. Creep Specifies the amount of space necessary to accommodate paper thickness and folding. You can specify Creep for Saddle Stitch and Perfect Bound printer spread styles. (See "About creep" on page 54.) Crossover Specifies the amount of space used to allow page elements to encroach the gap in Perfect Bound printer spread styles. (Think of it as a bleed for in between pages.) The field accepts values between 0 and half the Gap value. You can specify Crossover only for Perfect Bound documents. Sig Size Specifies the number of pages in each signature for Perfect Bound documents. To do this, choose an option from the Sig Size menu. If the number of pages to be imposed is not evenly divisible by the Sig Size value, InBooklet adds blank pages to the end of the document as necessary. About creep Creep specifies the distance pages move away from the spine to accommodate paper thickness and folding in Saddle Stitch and Perfect Bound documents. InDesign considers the "cover" of the final piece to be the outermost printer spread, while the "centerfold" is considered to be the innermost printer spread. The term sheet represents two printer spreads: the front of the sheet and the back of the sheet. The creep increment is calculated by dividing the specified creep value by the total number of sheets minus one. For example, a 16-page InDesign document could yield eight printer spreads, or four sheets. The front of the first sheet will consist of the first printer spread (pages 16 and 1) while the back of the first sheet will consist of the second printer spread (pages 2 and 15).

CHAPTER 3

PageMaker Plug-in Pack Features

Top, Bottom, Left, and Right Margins

Speciﬁes the

amount of space that surrounds the actual printer

spread after trimming. You can specify margin

values for all the printer-spread styles.

Gap

Speciﬁes the amount of space placed between

pages (the right side of the left page and the left

side of the right page). You can specify a Gap value

for all the printer-spread styles except Saddle

Stitch.

Note:

For Perfect Bound documents, if you are

creeping in (with a negative value), the minimum

Gap value is the width of the Creep value. If you’re

manually creating signatures (for example, if there

are different stocks in the same document), you can

enter a Gap value to specify a starting creep for

spreads that belong to different signatures.

Bleed

Speciﬁes the amount of space used to allow

page elements to print beyond the edge of the

trimmed page. This value affects only the face of a

printer spread (the top, bottom, and outside page

edges). The ﬁeld accepts values between 0 and the

smallest margin. You can specify a Bleed value for

all the printer-spread styles.

To control the bleed between pages of Perfect

Bound documents, use Crossover.

Creep

Speciﬁes the amount of space necessary to

accommodate paper thickness and folding. You

can specify Creep for Saddle Stitch and Perfect

Bound printer spread styles. (See “About creep” on

page 54.)

Crossover

Speciﬁes the amount of space used to

allow page elements to encroach the gap in Perfect

Bound printer spread styles. (Think of it as a bleed

for in between pages.) The ﬁeld accepts values

between 0 and half the Gap value. You can specify

Crossover only for Perfect Bound documents.

Sig Size

Speciﬁes the number of pages in each

signature for Perfect Bound documents. To do

this, choose an option from the Sig Size menu. If

the number of pages to be imposed is not evenly

divisible by the Sig Size value, InBooklet adds

blank pages to the end of the document as

necessary.

About creep

Creep

speciﬁes the distance pages move away from

the spine to accommodate paper thickness and

folding in Saddle Stitch and Perfect Bound

documents. InDesign considers the “cover” of the

ﬁnal piece to be the outermost printer spread,

while the “centerfold” is considered to be the

innermost printer spread. The term

sheet

represents two printer spreads: the front of the

sheet and the back of the sheet. The

creep

increment

is calculated by dividing the speciﬁed

creep value by the total number of sheets minus

one.

For example, a 16-page InDesign document could

yield eight printer spreads, or four sheets. The

front of the ﬁrst sheet will consist of the ﬁrst

printer spread (pages 16 and 1) while the back of

the ﬁrst sheet will consist of the second printer

spread (pages 2 and 15).
