cut paste image

[Guest]

Hi,

Is there a way we can cut paste an image rectangle into a text frame without using app.cut() & app.paste() ?

Thanks,

Hi

Is what you want do create Anchored Object without using cut() and paste()

try this code.

/** *  without using cut() and paste() * * env> * a document has one textframe and graphicframe(rectangle) * */ var doc = app.documents[0]; var org = doc.rectangles[0];// has an image var tf = doc.textFrames[0]; var dup = tf.parentStory.insertionPoints[-1].rectangles.add(); for (var j in org.properties) {   try {     dup = org.properties;   }   catch(e){} }; var relative_posi = [   dup.geometricBounds[1] - org.geometricBounds[1],   dup.geometricBounds[0] - org.geometricBounds[0] ]; dup.place(org.graphics[0].itemLink.filePath); for (var i in org.graphics[0].properties) {   try {     dup.graphics[0] = org.graphics[0].properties;   }   catch(e){} }; dup.graphics[0].move(undefined, relative_posi); // if you want move! // org.remove();

thank you

That is fine. But not working with documents created elsewhere. It throw the exception 'Can not find the folder --'. This is because it looks for the image path from where the image has been originaly placed. Is there any other alternatives?

Thanks.

Hi.

is your operation system "Windows"?

try this code

var doc = app.documents[0]; var org = doc.rectangles[0];// has an image var tf = doc.textFrames[0]; // bigger than image var dup = tf.parentStory.insertionPoints[-1].rectangles.add(); for (var j in org.properties) {   try {     dup = org.properties;   }   catch(e){} }; var relative_posi = [   dup.geometricBounds[1] - org.geometricBounds[1],   dup.geometricBounds[0] - org.geometricBounds[0] ]; // mac or win? if (Folder.fs === "Macintosh") {   dup.place(org.graphics[0].itemLink.filePath); } else {   dup.place(encodeURI(File(org.itemLink.filePath).fullName); } for (var i in org.graphics[0].properties) {   try {     dup.graphics[0] = org.graphics[0].properties;   }   catch(e){} }; dup.graphics[0].move(undefined, relative_posi);
