Hi Amol,

>From what I can see, the 3-fold and 4-fold "feature" no longer exists. I'm not sure of the reasoning, but I think it must of been because this was really a misnomer. 
The former 3-fold setting, for example, really just places 3 individual pages side-by-side, so that if you printed them out, each would print as an individual page.
If you want to actually accomplish this, i.e., a 3-fold page that would print as one, then be folded afterward, you should use guides to subdivide the space of a single page, perhaps using a custom size page in landscape mode as needed - this would of course depend on the size of the print stock you were going to print this on.

Now, is there a use case for more flexibility in page display? Perhaps, but I think you might have to make your case with the devs on that.
