jmwellborn Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I originally entered this problem under Suggestions, but am now having crashes with v. 133. I have described the problem and attached the evidence in the Suggestions Forum, under the topic Text Wrap icons missing from Context Toolbar. But now it appears there is a bug. I have had the same problem several times, and hope you can figure out what is going on. It is entirely beyond me, but there seems to be a font-handling problem for starters, n uncorrectable leading problem from one page to the next, a text flow problem, and a text wrap problem. Rather discouraging. I have re-attached the document I was working on. I have no idea how the text from the left-hand page, set in 11 pt type, managed to repeat itself at the top of the right hand page in tiny type, with the left-right justification reduced to a portion of the page. This has happened before, when trying to flow text. No idea why the leading is correct on the left page, and squished up on the right. Anyway, I am not so dopey that I hadn't saved the document in decent shape before I tried to correct the leading. Maybe the only bright thing I've done this weekend!

jmwellborn Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 Wrote about this under the topic Type and Leading. It looks to me as though the problem stems from hidden glitches in the original Dtp Software iCalamus, which I used briefly when Adobe would not honor my $600.00 purchase of InDesign CS6 when I upgraded from Yosemite to Sierra. No problems using PDFs from InDesign and Apple Pages. So far. 24" iMAC Apple M1 chip, 8-core CPU, 8-core GPU, 16 GB unified memory, 1 TB SSD storage, Ventura 13.6.

Staff Gabe Posted October 5, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 5, 2018 Hi @jmwellborn, Apologise for the delayed reply. I'm afraid we would need more information about your workflow. How did you get to this point? New document? Did you import a PDF? Was the issue specific to that document? Can you replicate the issue on a new document? Also, without seeing the actual .afpub file, it's hard to say what's going on. Next time when it happens, write down your workflow, save the file and attach it here . Thanks, Gabe.

If it happens with any PDF that I import from an original InDesign document, or from an Apples Pages document exported as a PDF, I will get back to you. I think it was a very peculiar set of circumstances with who-knows-what hidden within the original ICalamus file. That software was rather unreliable, and very prone to crashes -- especially when working around text wrapping, picture frames, etc. The PDF was exported from iCalamus and then imported into Publisher, where I saved it as an .afpub file. I then opened that file and tried to print it. The first six pages printed perfectly but on the seventh page (with the girl's face shown in my Sept. 22 message), much of the type was missing. So then I tried to link text blocks in order to sort out the missing text. That is when the font size became snarled up. Type size on pp 1-6 was 11 pt. The first few lines linked from p. 6 and brought into p. 7 came in at 3 pt. Several pages later in the former PDF (saved as .afpub) there are several pages with many images and captions. The images printed, but most of the captions were missing. Definitely not a Publisher problem! I tried a page with several images/captions on it from a document originated in InDesign and exported as a PDF, then opened in Publisher. Printed perfectly. Same thing for an Apples Pages document. Fortunately I have only one very small ICalamus mini-book. It isn't going to bother me to reset the whole thing in Publisher, once we get to the first commercial product. It will be fun! If I haven't nailed text wrap, fonts, leading, picture frames, and styles by then, there will be no hope!! As an aside, I have imported a PDF with 300 pages of wildly varying type, clip art, illustrations, shadows, and all sorts of unusual layout which was originally created in InDesign. Came through as clean as a whistle. I have also redone several pages that illustrate each of the 320+ font faces that I have resident in my Mac, using Publisher v. 139/140. Some at 12 pt, some 14 pt, some 16 pt, some 24 pt, etc. -- depending upon their unique characteristics. One has followed the next in alphabetical order with nary a glitch!!! (Glyphs show up in the Glyph Browser too.). I am as happy as a clam. 24" iMAC Apple M1 chip, 8-core CPU, 8-core GPU, 16 GB unified memory, 1 TB SSD storage, Ventura 13.6.
