[Performance] Text wrap around embedded PDFs


Recommended Posts

After embedding SOME (not all) PDFs into an afpub document (e.g. a simple flowchart, ca. 300 kb) and turning text wrap on, performance degrades significantly. For instance , there is a delay of several seconds when inputting new text and Publisher becomes extremely resource hungry, consuming 200+ %CPU. The situation is better for some PDFs, worse for others. My investigations show that OmniGraffle PDFs are extremely bad in this respect and one is attached to this ticket for testing purposes.  

Interestingly enough, the text lag / %CPU issue can be fixed by taking the objects out of the embedded PDF and moving them directly into the afpub. (there are other performace issues related to that, but the text lag seems to be gone)

Thanks for looking into this matter ;-)

That *is* interesting...

To make it even MORE interesting, further investigations show that everything is *completely* fine if you select "Prefer Linked" image placement policy and insert the PDF via Picture Frame Rectangle Tool...

Did not have the time to test whether it was the Prefer Linked setting that fixed it or placing the PDF through the tool instead of drag-and-dropping it into the document. Now the document works like a charm...
