Release the anchored objects

HI Maria,

Please use the JS code below but the code is your requirement has been resolved, according to me, this way is large round circle. If someone doing short fitness after my script to edit or change.

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myPGItem = myDoc.allPageItems;

Release both anchored objects
 
			 
Dear all, I want an objects anchored all of my output file. All the anchors are created inside the table. I use InDesign CS4.
I have a file for 4 pages that is containing more than 150 images to be released anchored. That the images should be placed in the same place. Just release. I want to do for more than 100 files (400 pages, it may increase in the future). I tried this find/replace option using object, but I can find using the custom options in the Panel options anchor, not able relase by using find and replace.
Please help me as soon as POSSIBLE.
Thanks in advance, Thiru
			 
Try this:
var a = app.activeDocument.allPageItems, t;

while( t = a.pop() )
    {
    t.isValid &&
    t.hasOwnProperty('anchoredObjectSettings') &&
    (t.parent instanceof Character) &&
    (t=t.anchoredObjectSettings).isValid &&
    t.releaseAnchoredObject();
    }

How to wrap text around the anchored object (image)
 
			 
I quickly started to get account that I am not the mental giant I had previously thought!
Having recently made the switch to InDesign, I fight to pick up some of the different methodologies, and more still, the different jargon.
I read the section guide from Adobe on this request, and I feel none the wiser is. I'm sorry to you guys with what is probably a very trivial question for users over three years, but let's go even of evil.
I am trying to anchor the image object in a block of text, with the image of the text wrapping. While it seems to be in my ability to insert the object and to wrap the text, I have real problems to anchor this object in the right place.
What I'm trying to look like this: -.
Can anyone please help me, a simple "idjit" way how to do this?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
See you soon... Scotty
			 
If the image is placed on the page:

Drag the symbol at the top right in a paragraph before that the first line is ignored when the text is wrapped.
I suggest to save all the settings (wrapping text, the position of an object of anchroed, etc.) in the Styles of an object as it makes it easier to do global settings later.
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Find the angle of rotation of the anchored object, replace that specific object by letter
 
			 
I got indd file customer. General problem is that he described certain letters of the words.
In fact, he described the letter e and that it rotates 180 °. It also makes with the letter c and there a rotation that anchored-178, 8250 ° oppose.
Now, I tried to change this objects to the real letters. Problem is that I can't find the option for the rotation of an object in the Find/Replace dialog box, and also I can't fint in Grep. So, what are my options?
Thanks in advance...
PS. If there is a possibility to change one of them, I can change a second with finding anchored object and change it to specific letter...
			 
Looks like someone could not find the real schwa or o open on their keyboards
Possible, but tricky.
This Javascript will search history containing the text for items cursor which rotated 180 degrees and replace them with a question mark. Replace the question mark with the character really wanted in notation Unicode Javascript ("\u... ("-here character four-digit hexadecimal code).
It really isn't a good way to check if it really is one that you should be replacing, so it does not blindly on all 180 degrees of rotation objects...
(You can simply change the "180" to your another number to check the other characters).
all_text = app.selection[0].parentStory;

for (thingy=all_text.allPageItems.length-1; thingy>=0; thingy--)
{
     alert (all_text.allPageItems[thingy].rotationAngle);
     if (all_text.allPageItems[thingy].rotationAngle == 180)
     {
          all_text.characters[all_text.allPageItems[thingy].parent.index].contents = "?";
     }
}
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Text of the anchored object wrapping
 
			 
Why when I anchor image boxes in the flow of text area that has two columns the text wrapping does not work altogether?
			 
In this case, I would do a separate paragraph before the title to insert the anchor there, as I wrote in my other response that the text line with anchor and before is ignored.
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
The anchored object could not wrap the text of the marker line.
 
			 
I need some time to provision the photo to be next to the text like this:
But the problem is in the first line (the line where the anchor marker is available as the first character). Because this line is not affected by the skin of the photo.
I know that's not a bug, because it's could ' t be achieved logically, because the photo may affect the anchor marker and then the anchor marker can affect the picture. Can then take over loop.
But this is not the case when the anchor marker is the first character of the line.
Is it possible to adjust this layout with different technical and somehow if we can change the width of the frame without having to manually readjust.
			 
Anchor the image in the previous line. If necessary, you can add an empty paragraph before holding the anchor and set it to show solidarity. Set the line spacing for this empty paragraph to 0. So as not to break the line at the top of a framework, however, frame options must be on the leader to the first base line.
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Remove the anchor object in the active document
 
			 
I have a couple of InDesign CS4 documents that a lot of objects to anchor. I want to just delete the entire anchor as well as objects using Javascript. Can someone help me on this topic?
			 
This can be done with a simple search and replace - see the help on the search for the code.
You can put this find-replace in a script, or save it in the saved query list.
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Text and graphics within the anchored object
 
			 
Is it possible to combine text and an image into something anchored? I want to use subheadings (static) text with a graphic chip within a text column and then reflow in place when the text is changed.
			 
Cut the group to the Clipboard. Select the image to be anchored. Choose Edition > paste.

Release of anchor all the objects/text images
 
			 
Dear all,
It's my 1st question on AC (Adobe Community), so I'll explain what I need here in details and excuse me my little or even none experienced in coding, especially in Javascript.
I have a book with many INDD files, these files have a lot of images and objects and text blocks are anchored to the main text area.
I searched on AC for the way to free him from all my anchored object and the main text block text block. so I found the average script.
I found her name "ReleaseAnyAnchor" created by 'Dave Saunders' to release the anchored object (graphics, text, else) but one by one. and it will take too much time to free myself from all the objects on the book. (the Script code is below)
//DESCRIPTION: Release Inline & Anchored Items
//Written by Dave Saunders, released on indesignsecrets.com


(function() {
  if (app.documents.length > 0 && // must be a document open
  app.selection.length == 1 && // selection must be of single item
  app.selection[0].parent instanceof Character) { // selection must be anchored
  if (parseFloat(app.version) < 6) {
  releaseMe(app.selection[0]);
  } else {
  app.doScript(releaseMe, undefined, app.selection[0], UndoModes.entireScript, "Release Any Anchor");
  }
  } else {
  alert("Please select an inline item.");
  }


  function releaseMe(myPI) {
  var yePage = findPage(myPI);
  var startBounds = myPI.geometricBounds;
  myPI.anchoredObjectSettings.anchoredPosition = AnchorPosition.anchored;
  myPI.anchoredObjectSettings.releaseAnchoredObject();
  if (yePage != null) {
  myPI.move(yePage);
  }
  myPI.move([startBounds[1], startBounds[0]]);
  }


  function findPage(theObj) {
  if (theObj.hasOwnProperty("baseline")) {
  theObj = theObj.parentTextFrames[0];
  }
  while (theObj != null) {
  if (theObj.hasOwnProperty("parentPage")) return theObj.parentPage;
  var whatIsIt = theObj.constructor;
  switch (whatIsIt) {
  case Page : return theObj;
  case Character : theObj = theObj.parentTextFrames[0]; break;
  case Cell : theObj = theObj.insertionPoints[0].parentTextFrames[0]; break;
  case Note : ; case Footnote : theObj = theObj.storyOffset; break;
  case Application : return null;
  }
  if (theObj == null) return null;
  theObj = theObj.parent;
  }
  return theObj
  } // end findPage


}());

also, I found another script which release all of the graphic objects, but not objects of text frame. (I get it from AC, but I remember exactly the place where.)

if(app.documents.length!=0) {
    var ad = app.activeDocument;
    var pgit = ad.pageItems;
    var pgitlg = pgit.length;
    var objprocessed = 0;
    if(pgitlg !=0)
    {
        for(i=0; i<pgitlg; i++)
        {
            if(pgit[i].getElements()[0].constructor.name == "TextFrame")
            {
                var tfg = pgit[i].allGraphics;
                var tfglg = tfg.length;
                for(j=0; j<tfglg; j++)
                {
                    var rec = tfg[j].parent;
                    rec.anchoredObjectSettings.releaseAnchoredObject();
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

all codes work well for me, but I need to try to merge or make a new code [as I mentioned that I don't have experiences in JS, so I do not know how to compile a new code that do the 2 steps of the 2 codes.]

my request is, could you please help me to do this new code, or merge to compile a new code in the new file.

I saw this topic releasing objects anchored and want to make a new script.

Please try to help me as soon as POSSIBLE because I need this script to all my object anchored to begin working on the output file.

I need the code works on any version of INDESIGN.

Thanks guys, waiting for you.

AHA. If you need test whether a line is an anchor. If this is the case, use. releaseAnchoredObject(), if it is not, the simplest is to make an anchor, then release it:
if (pageItems[i].parent instanceof Character) {
    if (pageItems[i].anchoredObjectSettings.anchoredPosition !== AnchorPosition.ANCHORED) {
        pageItems[i].anchoredObjectSettings.anchoredPosition = AnchorPosition.ANCHORED;
    }
    pageItems[i].anchoredObjectSettings.releaseAnchoredObject();
}

It works, but I don't know if the results are what you're after.

out the anchor text block and copy its contents
 
			 
Hi all
I have a script that will be able to anchor to InDesign text block and it works well. Now my problem is that I released that anchored text frames and then copy its contents the same position where the text block was at anchor.
Here's what I do:
1. find and block of text of a document (using the find object, anchored by its applied object style).
2. release the anchored object found.
3 copy its contents the same position where it was anchored.
For 1 and 2 rep, I maybe able to do but point 3 I have no idea.
Hope someone can lend me the time to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Anchored objects are transparent
 
			 
Thanks in advance for the help. I'm using CS5.
I have a document have been multiple anchored objects, ended by overlap. My problem is that the anchored objects have transparency them I can't delete the value. Things to note:
Transparency goes away if I release the anchored object.
I have an object assigned to the anchored frames style, but there are style overrides that I can't erase the anchored objects.
I do the object style assigned to anchored objects changes have no effect. Only the box 'options of anchored objects' attributes change anchored objects.
Any contributions to this issue would be great. Thank you!
			 
Looks like maybe that transparency is applied to the text in which you anchor.
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
When you use the pen tool when I click and create an anchor point and release the mouse button the pen tool emerges from the anchor and allow me to go and select a new anchor point. The right pen tool keeps adding lines that I move the mouse.
 
			 
When you use the pen tool when I click and create an anchor point and release the mouse button the pen tool emerges from the anchor and allow me to go and select a new anchor point. The right pen tool keeps adding lines that I move the mouse.  How can I get the pen tool to release the anchor
			 
Try this.go in the menus. Select cc illustrator > preferences > display selection & anchor > then make sure the box "activate the rubber band for" the pen tool is not selected. Then press OK. It should work.
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
How to align the two side by side anchored objects in InDesign.
 
			 
I put a Word document in my InDesign doc and there are a number of images. They came as embedded images. Some of them I want to appear side by side or in a grid of all kinds. I'm not too familiar with anchored objects. Is there an easy way to align the ups and downs (i.e. ensure that the images are of the same height as the other) so that when they are side by side, they're aligned? Whatever I do for them seems to move them a little bit, but they are not perfectly aligned. Because I can't pick them out and do a typical line up as I would with ordinary objects, I don't know what to do. Sorry if this is a stupid/easy question. Thank you very much!
			 
Right-click on the selection of an anchored object and choose anchored object > Options.
In the anchored object Options dialog box, choose Customize from the Position menu and click OK.
The subject will probably move when the dialog box closes, but because it is now a Custom anchored object, you can drag to reposition.
Alignment of an object embedded custom to other objects cannot be done with the control panel features line up because the anchored objects select individually, but with benchmarks commented under tension, you should be able to logically position.
Note: you can of course always UN-anchor an object if you want. Simply select cut, press ESC to kill the active insertion point and paste.
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Is anyway for anchored objects to still be top of the line?
 
			 
When I copy an object (say a picture) in InDesign with the tool move (V) selected and then paste it into the text sometimes it's above the line and sometimes it's online. Text wrapping seems to make no difference.
When I copy an anchored object that is well above the line and the text flows around him and then somewhere paste it elsewhere in the text, it turns into inline. How can I get these always being above line instead of having to change all?
			 
Change one of them to be above the line (preferably the first time you anchor)
With the anchored object in the desired position - go to object Styles and create an object for your anchored image style and apply it.
Now, copy and paste the object to another location in the text.
