I'm having a variety of text wrap issues with idml files imported into Publisher. They are easily re-created in a new InDesign file.

Here's a brief description of a few of them:

1. When an image in the InDesign file has the text wrap option "wrap around object shape", it may import into Publisher fine via idml. But if I manually modify the wrap outline, Publisher does not import it correctly anymore. The text may run under the image, and there may be an area of expanded text wrap outside of the image shape. When this problem happens, I can go back to the original InDesign document, click on the text wrap option to clear overrides, and then the idml imports looking great. (But I need the overrides.)

2. Some images with the same text wrap option "wrap around object shape" do not import properly, even if the shape is not modified in any way. In this case, if the text wrap option is changed to “wrap around bounding box” in InDesign, it fixes the problem. (But I need it to wrap around the object shape.)

3. An oval image with the text wrap option "wrap around object shape" does not import properly, either. When imported via idml into Publisher, it shows text wrap around a rectangle bounding box. (Which is not what I need.)

To show the problem, I've made a set of indd/idml/afpub files + PDFs.

I'm using Affinity 1.8.3. on Mac Os 10.12.6.

Thank you! I'm looking forward to being able to heavily use the idml import once some of these issues are resolved.

Hi @mbfjrd,

Thanks for those files and descriptions, I've logged a couple of bugs from investigating them.

As a workaround for the 1st and 2nd issue you can click on the image inside the frame (where the wrapping has been applied) and edit the wrap outline and adjust it to fit the frame.
