Anyone know how to use the 2 icons on the right? They say they are to View Traps and View Trap Highlights, but whenever I click them nothing happens.

they're like the buttons on the red lights for pedestrians to get the "walk" and "don't walk" lights.

The one on the left is View Traps. The one on the right is Show Trap Highlights. This only works if you use AGFA's TrapSpotter, which I do not. If it can't be trapped auto on the RIP, I manually do it in the originating app.

But it doesn't do anything. I've dabbled in Trapspotter and it doesn't actually apply traps - just selects zones that you can apply trapping parameters to. No trapping occurs til the Render.

I had the same results. Hence the reason I close the window and let it be. The Docubox manager was pretty cool. This was before Pitstop had a stable way of re-configuring page boxes.

I believe it will highlight the traps that are made if the PDF has been trapped by PDFTrap in the PDFReady Task Processor. It's a separate license from Trap in the PDFRender Task Processor.
