🚀 go-pugleaf

Thanks Harbs, this has made things simpler.

I have heard your name mentioned several times today in the InDesign Secrets podcast (and Dave's too).

I am almost there with the script (my scripting is clumsy but I can usually get things to work mainly with help from this forum.

My last problem is that I am re-applying geometric bounds to the released anchored object as it is still being referenced as myAnchoredFrame.

Is it possible to release ALL the anchored objects in one go? Or how do I dump the reference to myAnchoredFrame once it has been released?

var myTextFrame = app.documents[0].textFrames.item("myTarget");
var myParagraphs = myTextFrame.paragraphs
for (var i = 0; i <= myParagraphs.length-1; i++) { var nLines = myParagraphs.item(i).lines.length; var myAnchoredFrame = myTextFrame.paragraphs.item(i).insertionPoints.item(0).textFrames.add(); var myHeight = nLines*myParagraphs[i].leading*.353 myAnchoredFrame.geometricBounds = [0, 0, myHeight, (myTextFrame.geometricBounds[3]-myTextFrame.geometricBounds[1])]; myAnchoredFrame.fillColor = "Gradient"; myAnchoredFrame.gradientFillAngle = 90; myTextFrame.texts.item(0).recompose; with(myAnchoredFrame.anchoredObjectSettings){ anchoredPosition = AnchorPosition.anchored; anchorPoint = AnchorPoint.topLeftAnchor; horizontalReferencePoint = AnchoredRelativeTo.anchorLocation; horizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.leftAlign; verticalReferencePoint = VerticallyRelativeTo.capheight; verticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.topAlign; anchorXoffset = 0; anchorYoffset = -1; pinPosition = false } myAnchoredFrame.anchoredObjectSettings.releaseAnchoredObject () myAnchoredFrame.sendToBack(); }

Thanks again
