T
he amount of creep applied to the outermost sheet is 24 pts, the amount of
creep applied to the second sheet is 16 pts and the amount of creep applied to
the third sheet is 8 pts. No creep applies to the fourth and innermost sheet.
As our example illustrates, the amount of creep for each successive sheet was
decreased by the creep increment.
In summary, each page on the outermost sheet is moved 12 pts (half of the 24 pt
creep value for this sheet) away from the spine, each page on the second
sheet is moved 8 pts (half of the 16 pt creep value for this sheet) away from the
spine, each page on the third sheet is moved 4 pts (half of the 8 pt creep value
for this sheet) away from the spine. Pages on the fourth and innermost sheet
are not moved.

STEP 7: SPECIFYING CROSSOVER
The value in the Crossover field (Layout pane Þ General area) specifies the
amount of space used to allow page elements to encroach the
Gap in Saddle
Stitch
or Perfect Bound publications. (Think of it as a bleed for in between
pages.) Enter a value between zero and half the
Vertical Gap value.
STEP 8: SPECIFYING MARGINS
Values in the Margins area (select Margins in the Layout pane) specify the
amount of space to surround the trim size of the printer flat. Enter values
between 0 and 288 pts in the
Top, Left, Bottom, and Right fields.
The Margins area in the Layout pane.
STEP 9: SPECIFYING GAPS
Values in the Gaps area (select Gaps in the Layout pane) specify the amount
of space to place between imposed pages and spreads. Enter values between 0
and 288 pts in the
Vertical, Horizontal, and Spread fields.
