Easier anchored objects

I think it would be great if anchor points were easier to use.  I know how to create an anchored object, but I don't usually because they are a hassle.  It would be much easier if anchor points could be added to objects that are already there.  Also when I use text wrapping with an anchored graphic, it does not always work, depending on the vertical alignment with the anchor point.

All layers are on
@Annie – this is not relevant, because anchored objects ("inline" or "custom" makes no difference) are tied to the layer of their parent text frame.
1. The objects could be "hidden".
There is a contriol for that to bring back all hidden objects on a spread:
alt + cmd + 3 (for InDesign on Mac OSX)
2. The objects could be set to "No Printing" and you look at your document with the "View / Overprint Preview" checked. You can control the "No Printing" in the Attributes Panel.
3. A combination of 1. and 2.
4. The objects are removed…
Could happen with a TEXT or GREP search/replace action that happens to include all anchor characters in your text.
5. …

  • CS3 - Auto Anchored objects

    Hi all,
    I would like to speed up my workflow enormously. I have a very repetitive thing that I need to speed up somehow...
    I receive supplied text that requires formatting. I have just about everything automated except inserting graphics into certain locations. I currently insert an object as an anchored object one by one wherever it needs to be put..
    The things is, all the graphic objects are identical (the exact same file), and they appear hundreds of time throughout the document.
    The objects are to all behave exactly the same way so a style could be set up - it's just the matter of placing the object hundreds of times every time I get new text to update the file with. So at the moment, I am spending way way way too much time individually placing each object one by one.
    I'm not a highly experienced ID user, so I'm hoping I'm just missing something here. I've scoured tutorials and help and the web to no avail. Hence my post here.
    Currently, they put the text code "grphc" where they want the little picture in the text supplied to me. I then do a search for "grphc" in the find function. It finds it, I then select this code and place the inline object. I then go back to the find function to show me the next code. It takes me straight to it, I then repeat the process of selecting the text code, place the object, find the next code, select the code, place the object, find the next code, select the text, place the object, find the next code, select it, place the thing, find the next, select it, place it... and so on and so on till my brain hurts through a very very repetitive operation. It hurts!.
    Please help me automate this very time consuming and brain numbing repetitive action...
    Like I said, I'm not a heavily experienced user of InDesign, so I'm hoping that I am simply missing something. (I can only hope)
    I'm hoping that a very easy, almost 'one click' fix can replace the special code with this little grpahic.
    I mean, I can find all occurrences of a given text in the document and replace it all in one hit with some other text, but it seems to not allow to replace text with a graphic.
    please help. even if the answer is in front of my face & cannot see it..
    Thanks very much in advance.
    Graeme.

    WOW!!!,
    Thankyou Dave, that works a treat.
    I must admit though, I am surprised that with the amount of power ID has with this Find/Replace function that it doesn't have the ability to find and replace with a graphic.
    Maybe I should put a wish list to ID to add this find text and replace with an object feature...

  • CS4 Linking Text Boxes Together in Anchored Objects?

    Hi. Using InDesign CS4 I have a Anchored Object that I would like to link part of it to the next one in the text frame. Example: I have grouped together a text box, a box with a placed UPC from Illustrator and another text box stacked on top of each other, all lined up. I group this and place it in a text box so I can set these at different places along a 29" document. When I have overset text, in the top box for example, I see the + sign but can't grab it to try to link the text to the next text box in the Anchored or grouped object. All I can do it change the size of the box - even when holding down the command key on the Mac with the text too enabled. I am setting it up this way so all three boxes stay together when positioning on pages. I have multiple rows of these so it makes it easier to modify. If I take the grouped set out of the text box so it's by itself I can grab the overset text. I am trying to link text boxes so it's easier and faster to flow in text from another program. Thanks.
    Pat

    OK, I will try to get the whole page later. I want to keep what you see in the screen shot - one of the grouped objects - together as it goes across the page. So the 9232554 text and all bellow that would stay grouped together when I tab it over to line up to a certain spot on the page. This is placed in a text box that runs horizonal on the page, about 28"  across. I also wanted to link the 9232554 box to the 9232729 box which is just a duplicate of the group of text and UPC code before it. But from what you say, and what I tried to do, I can't. Even when all the anchored object groups are in the same long text thread. I tried not grouping  each section - the UPC code sandwiched by the text boxes, but could not place them in the long text box when not grouped togther.
    I wanted to flow in the text to all 14 of these grouped or anchored objects, say all top boxes, in one 'paste' instead of doing each one at a time but keeping the 3 elements you see togther at all times.

  • Anchoring objects to text in InDesign CS5.0

    Hi,
    I'm trying to convert a heavily styled book with lots of photos and charts to Kindle. When I export to Kindle, it's a mess. Is it possible to anchor objects to text in CS5? I know CS5.5 can do it, but I'm having a hard time figuring it out in CS5.
    Any helpful hints for making this conversion as easy as possible ... and without knowing any HTML would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I highly recommend Elizabeth Castro's ebook to learn the basics of creating EPUB files—"EPUB Straight to the Point"
    Formatting ebooks - EPUB Straight to the Point
    Here is how she suggests you do it in InDesign CS5:
    Place the cursor in the flow of your book where you want to illustration to go (at the beginning of a paragraph).
    Press Return to create a separate paragraph for the illustration
    Apply an Illustration paragraph style. She suggests setting autoleading so the paragraph expands to the height of the illustration.
    Choose File > Place to place the illustration in that paragraph.
    If you need a caption, press return to create a new paragraph and apply the Caption style.

  • Anchoring Object to a Paragraph Style? Objects behind text

    Hello,
    I am trying to anchor an graphic object to a paragraph style that is a numbered paragraph.  I have set up my numbering and I want a single graphic to be anchored to the number so it appears behind the number each time I choose that paragrah style.
    Is this possible to do?
    Or perhaps I should ask how other people put graphics behind bullets or numbers and have them anchor to the text...
    I sure could use soem help with this; it seems like it should be easy...
    Dave.

    I found this intriguing, so I thought I'd see what I could come up with.
    I made a numbered paragraph style, to start. Then I made a Cyan filled ellipse, which I anchored in front of the first word in one of the paragraphs, and changed the positioning to custom and made sure it was relative to the anchor, and turned off keep within frame boundaries, to allow me to position it "behind" the number. As emmanuel points out, anchored objects are actually in front of the text, so so far it's not working.
    I selected the ellipse and changed it's blend mode to multiply. This will not change it's color where it is over white, but it will darken wherever it is on top of another color, creating a rich black number, for example, if you used black text. Looks pretty good now.
    Select the ellipse and create a new object style based on it. This will by default include the blend mode and anchored object parameters, and be sure the style is applied to the selected ellipse. Now cut the ellipse and paste it on the pastboard out of the way so you don't lose it.
    As long as the object is on the clipboard you can use it for a find/change operation, so you can do that now, or later, just by copying it again when it's convenient. The find/change needs to be a GREP search for ^(.) which means find any character at the beginning of a paragraph, and replace with ~c$1 which means replace with the formatted contents of the clipboard and the found character. Be sure to set the find formatting options to the numbered paragraph style.
    Because you gave the object an object style that includes the blend mode and positioning, and you pasted it as a formatted object, those attributes are preserved and the graphic will be positioned correctly for each paragraph.

  • Converting textframes into anchored objects

    Hi All,
    I'm generating the ePub files from the InDesign and found that some of my textframes which are in separate stories are captured at the end of the files, but I'd like to have them at the exact position. But when those frames are capturing manually as anchored objects, it looks fine. Please confirm how this can be achieved either scripting or other method?
    Thanks,
    Praveen

    @Praveen – the first question you have to answer to yourself is:
    is there a general prescribe where to anchor exactly a single text frame in the main story?
    If you cannot say that in a general, logical way, you cannot automate this task.
    Or you have to programme a lot of exceptions, that it would be easier to do it manually.
    For InDesign CS5.5 and above it is very easy to anchor a text frame using the UI with two clicks per instance. Scripting those is a more complex task.
    1. You have to identify separate text frames (you can only anchor single, non-threaded ones!).
    2. Perhaps you have to identify a geometrical relation between the single text frame and the main story in form of a single insertion point at the beginning or end of a paragraph…).
    3. And you have to define some properties for the anchor behaviour of the stray text frame you want to anchor.
    How many stray text frames do you have?
    How many documents where you want to anchor those?
    Describe the projected time for the task if done in the UI…
    Is it reliable using a script at all?
    Taking into account that writing (20%) and testing (80%) a script for this task would take some hours to perhaps a day… Plus the time for analyzing the original documents (special cases may be a hurdle one cannot overcome).

  • Releasing Anchored objects

    I saw a couple of earlier posts with code for releasing an anchored object ( http://forums.adobe.com/click.jspa?searchID=2331267&objectType=2&objectID=1109584 and http://forums.adobe.com/click.jspa?searchID=2331267&objectType=2&objectID=2062943 ) but I'm not sure how to make this work for my current situation, so would one of you folks give me a hand, please?
    I'm building a directory where business names are in one paragraph style that is a numbered list, but each of these paragraphs has anchored at the the beginning a frame containing proprietor names and phone numbers in other separate paragraph styles. I need to build an alphabetical index of stores and proprietors with the index number from the list. This actually isn't too hard to organize because I can set the numbered list style to start on next page, thereby making the list number and page number the same, but I need to release all the anchored objects so they don't get pulled in as part of the store name. I figure this should be pretty simple, so how about it? CS4, if it matters.
    Peter

    I didn't check the posts you mentioned, but I remembered there was a catch (an anchored object is identified only by having 'anchoredObjectSettings'). The extra try..catch surrounding the 'release' ought to shield you from oddities, as in "you can't release an anchored graphic".
    Other than that ... perhaps it's easier if you can select a text frame to release everything within? Or at once everything in the entire document?

  • Print anchored objects

    When I print a document on Indesign CS5 on pdf it prints texts, images, but not the anchored objects! Can anybody help me?

    OK, we know they aren't set to non-printing, which is too bad, 'cause that's easy to fix and now we have to find some other reason.
    Are you saying you are printing to PDF, or printing from the PDF? Do they show up if you export to PDF?

    Hi,
    To skip and to remove can differ, so you have to decide what is a goal.
    Removing this can as easy as calling find...replace method (app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "^a")

  • New technique to place multiple anchored objects in InDesign story

    Hello,
    For a while I have been trying to figure out how to insert multiple anchored objects into an Indesign story. As far as I can tell, you cannot copy multiple objects that have already been placed in a document (such as a multi-page pdf) into an InDesign story, but must copy and paste them one-by-one into the story. This is a problem for a project I am working on where I want to have a large number of 340x52 pt pdfs to flow throughout a document in a master text frame interspersed with text.
    I have now found a solution for this issue that I thought I would share in case it would be helpful for anyone. It utilizes Automator actions for Mac OS X and Microsoft Word 2011 [2008 may work also, but I don't have a copy of that to test]; I am not good with scripting but perhaps similar solutions could be found for other systems and programs.
    1. If you want to place a multipage pdf within a text frame, first it into individual files for each page (with Acrobat Pro or pdftk or something similiar).
    2. Create an Automator service or program with the action "Create New Word Document". You can also use another automator action to save the document, or save it manually (to change the filename). In the finder, select the items you want, then run the service or drag them into the Automator program you have created.
    3. Place the word document into your InDesign story. Your items will now be anchored objects ordered in your text frame as they were in the finder.
    Please let me know if this is helpful or if anyone has suggestions for doing this process is a more efficient way. I am not sure, but it may be the case that this approach would only work on Macs, as I gather from this thread.

    I might note that I am using InDesign CS 5, and importing from a document stored in docx format.

  • Get textFrame by label returns null and anchored objects

    I have the following two functions:
    function getByLabel(page, label)
        for(var i=0; i < page.allPageItems.length; i++)
            if( page.allPageItems[i].label == label )
                return page.allPageItems[i];
    and
    Object.prototype.findItems = function(/*obj*/props)
        if( !('everyItem' in this) )
            throw new Error("Error: " + this + " is not a collection.");
        var ret = this.everyItem().getElements(),
            i = ret.length,
            e, p;
        while( i-- && e=ret[i] )
            for( p in props )
                if( (p in e) && e[p]===props[p] ) continue;
                ret.splice(i,1);
        return ret;
    In my page structure, I got one main text frame (the content area) and two vertical text fromes on the sides of the page. There is also a small box textframe on top of the page. All these textboxes EXCEPT the main text frame are ALL "ANCHORED objects". I had to make them anchored objects, eitherwise after importing data, the boxes would jump around. (Example, the small box textframe that is on the top would get moved to the content area textframe etc). Not sure if using anchored objects is the proper way to fix this.
    When I try to get the small box text frame, it does not work using the findItems (returns null) but it works fine with the getByLabel method. Why is that?
    The calling syntax is:
    for( i=0 ; i < doc.pages.length ; ++i )
            var page = doc.pages.item(i);
            var textFrame = getByLabel(page, 'lblSection' ); //This works
            //   var textFrame = page.textFrames.findItems({ label:  'lblSection' })[0]; This does not work, returns null
            if( textFrame != null )
                textFrame.parentStory.contents = "";

    (function () {
        // Per the InDesign Scripting Guide, app.activeScript is only
        // valid when a script is directly executed from InDesign, not
        // from the ESTK, so a try/catch block is recommended to handle
        // it.
        var d;
        try {
            d = app.activeScript.parent.parent.fsName;
        } catch (e) {
            d = Folder.appPackage.parent.fsName+"/Scripts";
            return d;

  • Text wrap in anchored objects

    In order to place text boxes relative to the spine, I have placed them as anchored objects.
    But now, these text frames do not respect text wrap setting from objects outside of the anchored object.
    I have made sure that ignore text wrap in text frame options is not checked.
    Is this a bug?
    And does anyone know a workaround?

    In order to make my design indifferent to later added pages, I have placed all text frames and graphic placeholders as anchored objects, positioning them relative to spine.
    When I now place an object on top of such an anchored text frame, text wrap is not working, even if i overide the master page item.
    The only work around I have found is to copy the respective text frame and make the original master page item unvisible.
    Is there not another way to to this?
    For me, the best would be another way of placing text and graphic frames relative to spine.
    Bus as soon as one overrides the master page item, the object is not placed anymore relative to spine if another page is inserted.

  • CS4 text wrap over anchored object

    Every time I place an anchored object (doesn't matter if it's graphic or text frame) and apply text wrap, Indesign freezes permanently and only solution is killing it via task manager.
    I opened CS3 file with anchored objects w/ txt wrap and the same freeze happens when trying to move, delete or apply different wrap settings to object.
    It never happened in previous version of ID on my machine.
    Any solution to this problem? Thanks.

  • Anchored objects and first line in InDesign CS3

    Hi, thanks for reading. I know that when you want an achored object at the beginning of a text block to all push away ("wrap around") the text, including the first line, you have to put it into a line before that.
    What I don't like about it, is that I then have an empty first line and everything else is pushed one line down. Now I could move the whole textbox up, to fit to the rest of my layout, but that's not the way one should work in InDesign. Is there a way to get around the first line?

    T-
    Select the anchored object and put text wrap on it. Then select the anchored object and go to Object/Anchored Object/Options. Select Position: Inline and set the Y Offset to the negative number that aligns your text where you want it.
