Hello all,

Before I ask the question, I would prefer to clarify "Text Wrap" with
"Jump to object" property of the object:

As per my understanding this option is to "Keeps text from appearing
in any available space to the right or left of the frame."

Does that mean that text on the other layers around the object can move up
and down position? if it is so then I guess its quite dangerous.


I have encountered the similar instance, where in the composer has used
"jump to object" property to a floating box and has everything perfect (in
terms text flowing around the object). Now during the editing the text in
the box (adding text to box heading) he accidentally did not noticed that
the immediate heading below the object got hidden beneath the box.
Noticing that Indesign does not give any warning during the export of pdf
(unlikely for the overset text) in such instances we have discovered that
it is quite dangerous. Of course pre-flighting will not help in this case
too.

If, as soon as I change the option to "wrap around object", the hidden
text comes back and is visible.

Does that mean using option "Jump to object" in text wrap of floating
objects should not be a practice. I did noticed that developer has been
using this property the case wherein we need to add certain information on
left and right margin of page. But I think it should have been resolved if
we keep the left and right text wrap to 0mm.

Finally, is there a way (preferably a script) which can prompt/warn
composer before getting the pdf exported or even taming the indesign to
export pdf, until and unless such instances get rectified in the document.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
