                                  True         The document has been fully trapped; no further trapping is
                                               needed. (This is the name True, not the boolean value true.)
                                  False        The document has not yet been trapped; any desired

                                               additional trapping may still be needed.
                               Default value: Unknown.
                               The value of this entry may be set automatically by the software creating the
                               document’s trapping information, or it may be known only to a human oper-
                               ator and entered manually.
