1.8.2 - IDML import, text flow, alpha channel

[UweN]

Hello,

sorry, I don't know if this was already posted. Please compare both schreenshots. There is a text flow around a picture in the original Indesign CS6 document. This document was exported as IDML and read by AffPublisher 1.8.2. There is not text flow around the picture.

Regards, Uwe

It seems to be, that APu needs some kind of path to get the wrapping correctly. If you just use the wrap option reflowing the object form in Indesign, APu does not understand this. To get a proper path in Indesign you can use - I do not have the correct English term - a Cutting path with Alpha Channel and Transparency. Attached a "repaired" file.

I think this unfortunately might just be an import limitation but I've passed it on to see if we can do better

You could also just select the image, not the picture frame, and click "Reset Wrap Outline" ("Umbruchkontur zurücksetzen") and Publisher will recognise the correct outline (but you have to set the distance to the text manually). So there is no need for a separate clipping path (Beschneidungspfad).

It's still a bug of course, but I'm sure this will be sorted out soon.
