Reply To: Anchoring Graphic vs. Layering Graphic

Maybe you can trick ID. Have all your photos named with the same with the same dimensions, but in two different folders (a 2ch folder and a 4ch folder). Place the images for 2ch product with anchors in the copy, export/package file when the design is complete.

Then rename the 2ch folder to something else, and rename the 4ch folder to what the 2ch folder was. Open the file in ID again and it should ask you to update the images. Update the images, change the conditional text and export/package the 4ch manaul. Alternatively, instead of renaming the folder, just replace the contents, making sure you have back ups somewhere.

Haven't tested, but should give you a quick option to try.

Or after a quick test, it looks like anchored objects and be conditional text! Just a matter of selecting the invisible anchor character, apply the desired condition, then swtich back and forth like normal. That's pretty cool! I just tried with a paragraph of text and two images with two conditional text settings.Test it out and let us know if it really works on a large scale project. Although I'm thinking this means all photos of these items would need to be anchored to have them all change with a click of the button throughout the manual, so maybe my first idea would work better if you have images placed indpendently on the page?
