Reply To: auto center object inline with height

Thanks. What I can do is tell the script that whenever it finds an EPS it should ignore it and not apply baseline shift. But this means that if you have more EPS’ in the file and you do want to adjust them it won’t work on that, because it will ignore any EPS.

Here’s the modified script that ignores any EPS:

//created by Ari S. designerjoe@outlook.com
// Automatically vertically center inline graphics
app.scriptPreferences.enableRedraw = false;
app.doScript(main, ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT, undefined, UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, "Adjust Inline Graphics Baseline");
function main() {
    var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
    with (myDoc.viewPreferences){
        var myOldXUnits = horizontalMeasurementUnits;
        var myOldYUnits = verticalMeasurementUnits;
        horizontalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.points;
        verticalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.points;
        }
    var mySelection = app.selection[0];
    if (app.selection.length == 1){
        //Evaluate the selection based on its type.
        switch (app.selection[0].constructor.name){
            case "InsertionPoint":
            case "Character":
            case "Word":
            case "TextStyleRange":
            case "Line":

            case "TextColumn":
            case "Text":
            case "Story":
            //The object is a text object; pass it on to a function.
            myAdjustBaseline(app.selection[0]);
            break;
            case "TextFrame":
            myAdjustBaseline(app.selection[0].texts.item(0));
            break;
            default:
            alert("The selected object is not a text object. Select some text and try again.");
            break;
            }
        }
    function myAdjustBaseline(text){

        for (i=0; i < myFound.length; i++){
            var myGraphicPosition = myFound[i];
            if (myGraphicPosition.texts[0].pageItems[0].allGraphics[0].constructor.name == "EPS")
            continue;
            var myPointSize = myGraphicPosition.pointSize;
            var myBounds = myGraphicPosition.texts[0].pageItems[0].geometricBounds;
            var myHeight = myBounds[2] - myBounds[0];

            }
