Folding Lines(Windows Only)
Document Fundamentals Layout Basics |
You can use folding lines to determine where to fold documents. Unlike guide lines, folding lines are part of the print output.
From the Insert menu, select Folding line.
Select either a horizontal or vertical folding line.

Another way to add a folding line is to left-click on a ruler. Use the horizontal ruler to add a vertical folding line, and the vertical ruler for a horizontal folding line. Left-clicking on a ruler will add either a folding line or a guide line, depending on the icon displayed in the top-left corner of your work area. Click on the icon to change it to the Folding Line icon, as shown here. |
Length - Use the Imposition settings Preferences dialog box (CTRL+K). The overlay length of a folding line specifies the length on the visible part of your document (for example, excluding any bleed margin).
Color - Use the Program settings Preferences dialog box (CTRL+K). Note: Folding line color only affects the representation of folding lines on the screen, folding lines are always printed in black, with hairline width.
Remove a folding line by dragging it to an invalid location, outside of the layout. The drag cursor is updated to reflect whether releasing the mouse button will move or remove the line.
