Esko Deskpack 12.1 is fully compatible with Adobe CC 17. As Adobe is still relyin on local software installers, this doesn't affect the DeskPack user. The license mechanism hasn't changed either for the Esko plugins.

There is a 'small gap detector' in the trapping settings. Often, objects have tiny gaps and by default, TrapX/PowerTrapper will not trap them (which is logical, as they don't touch). But you can activate the option 'detect small gaps' to automatically add these instances to the trapping. No need...
