Strange text wrap behaviour with vector cropped .afphoto

Recommended Posts

What I did: Made a text frame and placed an .afphoto (cropped in AP already) off-the-page, used the Vector Crop Tool on it and gave it text wrap Jump with 0 distance to text.

Off the page the Jump text wrap has no impact on the text, only if I get a bit closer. If I move the image completely into the text the distance from image to text is also wrong. In the retail version the text was even wrapped, when touching the bleed area. If I want to edit the wrap outline it seems to be that the original size of the .afphoto is taken into account and not the vector cropped part in APu. But maybe the attached video shows better what I mean.

I think that this has been reported before, that embedded/linked placed document files don't wrap around the visible parts but uses the actual bounding box of the file to wrap.
Likely it doesn't see the transparency that is needed to wrap as it does with image files that have transparency.
Or because publisher can wrap around invisible objects.
You can however set the wrapping outline to fit your needs.

Some more tests and I guess it is by design. :D

If you vector crop an image, the rectangle becomes a child of the image. So removing the wrap on the parent (image) and applying it on the child (crop rectangle) everything works as expected. I would call this a bit unintuitive applying the wrap on the child and not the parent. The parent wrap outline seem to come from the original dimension of the .afphoto and not the in AP cropped part.

Thanks for your report @joe_l, as you've mentioned I believe this is By Design and was recently discussed here - 

I hope this clears things up :)

Please note -

I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible.

Many thanks!
