how to apply specific operations for anchored image and non-anchored image separately..

Hi,

at the end of script:

//...

app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING; 
mImages = mDoc.allGraphics; 
while ( cImage = mImages.pop() ) {
     if ( cImage.parent.parent.hasOwnProperty("baseline") )
          cImage.parent.anchoredObjectSettings.releaseAnchoredObject ();
     }
}

Hi,

Since it stay anchored it overlaps the line of text where anchor is set into - wrap values and anchor offset values go into recursive relation.

Solution I can see:

1. Grow "Y" anchor offset (line 63)

2. Release anchoring of each image finally at the end of script

But in case of images placed at bottom of textFrame and forced to keep frame bounds --> only 2nd way can help.

Hi,

We started with question about the way and it is growing up, sorry.

To avoid this error script has to make some investigation before :

• check if image parent is anchored
• check if image name is found
• check if its current position is correct or wrong

Each check result and their pair-combinations involves specific part of job.

One could use try-catch routine with line no 43 - but on my side it is... forcing ID to quit...

Hi,

Second time in the same doc? Other doc?

Notice you can use "UNDO" before repeated script run.

Hi,

Standalone images moved as well but if text not found => placed in 'collector' textFrame

OUTPUT ==> all images anchored and - if name found - placed nearby

app.doScript('testImageAlign()', ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT, undefined, UndoModes.FAST_ENTIRE_SCRIPT, "imageAlign");

function testImageAlign() {
  var
       mDoc = app.activeDocument,
       mStandaloneImgCollector = mDoc.textFrames.add(),
       mImages = mDoc.allGraphics, mImageName,
       cImage,
       cImageRec, cImageChar,
       mFound;

  app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;

  while ( cImage = mImages.pop() )
       if (!cImage.parent.parent.hasOwnProperty("baseline")) {
            cImage.parent.select();
            app.cut();
            mStandaloneImgCollector.insertionPoints[-1].contents = "\r";
            mStandaloneImgCollector.insertionPoints[-1].select();
            app.paste();
            }

  mImages = mDoc.allGraphics;

  while ( cImage = mImages.pop() ) {
       cImageRec = cImage.parent;
       cImageChar = cImageRec.parent;
       mImageName = cImage.itemLink.name,
       app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = mImageName;
       mFound = mDoc.findText();

       if (mFound.length)
            cImageChar.move(LocationOptions.BEFORE,mFound[0]);
       else
            alert ("Text: " + imgname + " not found in doc");

       cImageRec = cImage.parent;
       cImageChar = cImageRec.parent;

       with (cImageRec) {
            textWrapPreferences.textWrapMode = TextWrapModes.BOUNDING_BOX_TEXT_WRAP;
            textWrapPreferences.textWrapOffset = [1,1,1,1];
            fit(FitOptions.frameToContent);
            with (anchoredObjectSettings) {
                 anchoredPosition = AnchorPosition.ANCHORED;
                 anchorPoint = AnchorPoint.TOP_LEFT_ANCHOR;
                 horizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.LEFT_ALIGN;
                 horizontalReferencePoint = AnchoredRelativeTo.COLUMN_EDGE;
                 verticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.TOP_ALIGN;
                 verticalReferencePoint = VerticallyRelativeTo.LINE_BASELINE;
                 anchorYoffset = 3;
                 pinPosition = true;
                 }
            }
       }
  if ( !confirm("Keep 'collector' textFrame with not found images?") )
       mStandaloneImgCollector.remove();
  }

mani@pixel napisał(-a): but the concept of the script is , we have many pictures in the indesign document and we have those pictures names anywhere in the paragraphs.. so i iterate all pictures one by one and finding the each picture name in paragraphs.. both are equal , i'm moving that picture to the picture name text below... so, i have to move pictures from one page to another page ..thats why i removed those anchors..

All above OK.

Provided code is moving image with relation to found text (to the other page as well)

Only problem is what to do with standalone images (not anchored)

Just check it

Hi,

Since image container anchor is released there is no longer relation to textFrame body.

To keep it you need to compare/recalculate geometricBounds again;

But I suggest to change logic and keep image containers anchored.

Didi you consider to move img.parent.parent?

Check it with this part of code

// it should move 1st anchored image into right position and pin it with relation to textFrame bounds and found text position

app.doScript('testImageAlign()', ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT, undefined, UndoModes.FAST_ENTIRE_SCRIPT, "imageAlign");
function testImageAlign() {
  var
       mDoc = app.activeDocument,
       imgname = mDoc.allGraphics[0].itemLink.name,
       mImage = mDoc.allGraphics[0],
       mImageRec = mImage.parent,
       mImageChar = mImageRec.parent,
       mFound;

  if (!mImageChar.hasOwnProperty("baseline")) {
       alert ("Anchor image named: " + imgname + " somewhere in text");
       exit();
       }


  app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
  app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = imgname;
  mFound = mDoc.findText();
  if (mFound.length)
       mImageChar.move(LocationOptions.BEFORE,mFound[0]);
  else {
       alert ("Text: " + imgname + " not found in doc");
       exit();
       }
  with (mImageRec) {
       textWrapPreferences.textWrapMode = TextWrapModes.BOUNDING_BOX_TEXT_WRAP;
       textWrapPreferences.textWrapOffset = [1,1,1,1];
       fit(FitOptions.frameToContent);
       with (anchoredObjectSettings) {
            anchoredPosition = AnchorPosition.ANCHORED;
            anchorPoint = AnchorPoint.TOP_LEFT_ANCHOR;
            horizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.LEFT_ALIGN;
            horizontalReferencePoint = AnchoredRelativeTo.COLUMN_EDGE;
            verticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.TOP_ALIGN;
            verticalReferencePoint = VerticallyRelativeTo.LINE_BASELINE;
            anchorYoffset = mImageChar.leading;
            pinPosition = true;
            }
       }
  }
