Problem

When working on artwork for folded products (e.g. trifold leaflets, greeting cards), users currently lack visual guidance within the file viewer to identify where folds will occur. This makes it difficult to ensure elements like text and images are properly aligned across panels, increasing the risk of misalignment or layout errors.

Proposed Solution

Introduce an option to overlay fold lines on the file viewer for applicable product types. Fold lines would be visually distinct (e.g. dashed lines) and appear automatically based on known product specifications (e.g. panel widths). Users could toggle the visibility of these lines, and optionally adjust them if needed.

Benefits

• Ensures artwork alignment and reduces errors in folded designs.

• Enhances the proofing experience by making the layout more intuitive.

• Reduces the need for manual checks.
