Hopefully a kind soul will be able to point me in the right direction.

I have built a document using TextFrames to hold text and tables elements and for the most part it renders will. The edge cases where I have a lot of text doesn't work out so well.

I have read various suggestions on how you simply "draw white boxes" outside the text frames to mask off the overflow. I thought about modifying the source, but I couldn't quite figure out where in the get/draw text infos to eliminate elements from appearing. Maybe I will have more luck in the afternoon?

If there was a way to sponsor adding this feature I would certainly be willing to do it...

Hi!

If the TextFrame only contains a simple paragraph (no images, only one font size) then a possible hack would be using the XTextFormatterEx2 class to figure out how much text can be put into the TextFrame.
It's a hack and may need some tweaking to avoid being off by one line due to e.g. Pragraph or TextFrame margins or such.

See here:

Making the change in the class that renders a TextFrame would be the nice and clean approach, but I have no idea where to start searching.
