Get the paragraphs with anchored images

[Guest]

Hi all.

I have inline images anchored to some paragraphs of a text.

How do I get those paragraphs with images?

Thanks in advance.

If a paragraph contains an inline image, it contains a rectangle. Two way to go about finding them:

1. Test every paragraph for the presence of rectangles:

if (myParagraphs.rectangles.length > 0) {

2. Find all anchors, then get their parent paragraphs:

app.findGrepPreferences = null;

app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = '~a';

inlines = xxx.findGrep();

// Now iterate through inlines

Hi Peter,

it does not necessarily mean a rectangle. Could be an oval or polygon as well.

What I do not know, so this question goes to the OP laindustia:
Would you like to find paragraphs that contain nested structures like e.g. groups that contain images as well?
Or that contain tables that contain images as well?

True. But it gives the op something to go on. Anyway, instead of rectangles, use pageItems and do some further test(s).

All my images are in rectangles non grouped by now. Maybe ovals later.

The first way works fine.

Thanks very much, pkahrel.
