[Parallel fold]
In a [Parallel fold] there is one sheet folded in 8 panels. The sheet is folded in half and then folded
in half again with a fold parallel to the first fold. Each side of a sheet is a PDF page.
To allow the panels to nest inside each other properly, the two inside folded panels are slightly
smaller than the two outer panels.
[Parallel fold] is applied to all pages in the document.
Sheet
One sheet contains one or more pages.
You map the pages of your document to physical sheets.
For example, one A3 sheet can contains four A4 pages.
[Tri-fold in]
In a [Tri-fold in] there is one sheet folded in 6 panels with two parallel folds. Each side of a sheet
is a PDF page.
The right panel folds inward and the left panel folds over the right panel. To allow the panels to
nest inside each other properly, the folded in right panel is usually slightly smaller than the other
panels.
A variation is the [Multi tri-fold in]. Multiple sheets are folded in 6 panels with two parallel folds.
Each side of a sheet is a PDF page. The sheets are folded inside each other.
[Tri-fold in] and [Multi tri-fold in] are applied to all pages in the document.
NOTE
[Tri-fold in] and [Multi tri-fold in] documents can be folded on different finishers. Therefore, the
fold lines of these two document types can differ from each other.
