It's 2021.
Please fix this bug.
P L E A S E.
It's been, what, 20 years now?

This is such a wretched PITA. If you deal with anything like book or magazine layouts you will find this a relief when it comes. It is frustrating and time consuming to have to leave the accurate positioning of inline graphics within a text stream, until the very last point.

"If you apply text wrap to an anchored object, the wrap affects the lines of text in the story that follow the anchor marker. However, the wrap doesn’t affect the line of text that includes the anchor marker or any lines before it." this from the help.adobe.com itself....here we are in 2020 after years of asking "please let us wrap text around our freaking objects when anchored to the same paragraph content.. But adobe obviously thinks this is not necessary.

That's my most desired feature request. Pretty please, Adobe.

This is so critical for accessible, tagged PDFs from InDesign.
It controls the reading order, which i central requirement in PDF/UA-1.

MUST-HAVE

Please fix this. it should possible to place an anchored object at the first line, without the line running through the graphic. And yes, I could place it one line before the line where it should be. But when text is edited.. I have to check the graphic stays with the text below it. Please fix it.

Great idea - im setting up a book where I desperately need this feature

Impossible to anchor all images in my long doc until you fix this. Please fix! Makes no sense the way it is now. Thanks.

It's not clear how text wrap on an anchored image is at all functional if it ignores the first line of text where the anchor is placed. Place an image next to a paragraph of text to which it relates, and the first line runs over the image. There appears to be no way in Indesign that gets around this, bar placing static images and then have to constantly be moving them with the text. Inserting a dummy paragraph above so the first line is no longer the first line creates its own problems. This situation might be ok if your work is an A4 flyer, but it makes Indesign not fit for purpose if you create books.

What time people could save with having that feature…

This is a critical problem for those making accessible PDFs from InDesign layouts. Especially in STEM and technical documents, the graphic must be anchored at a precise spot in the layout (and the resulting PDF tag tree). This bug prevents us from either creating the design and accessibility we need, or spending costly labor to correct the PDF in Acrobat.

It's been 20 years, Adobe. Fix this *&^%$#@! bug.

Very important -- otherwise a crucial feature becomes useless!

Very annoying to apply workaround each time I use anchored objects (for instance hand drawn drop caps). Please correct it.

Absolute MUST-HAVE! This is an awkward situation which I feel hard to explain to my clients.

I'm evaluating publishing tools and this bug will probably move me to purchase Flare licenses even though we already have ID. There's no way I'd move to Framemaker given Adobe's product neglect and desperate marketing over the last five years. Hey Adobe—fix your bugs and have your products stand for something.

This is a great suggestion.

It's about time

Have anchor objects wrap around first line of text. This is particularly helpful when a graphic/photo is in a table or an text box.
