Image positioning

Use image positioning settings to place images at a fixed location on the page while allowing text to flow around the image. This functionality is useful for layouts where images should consistently appear in a specific area of the page, such as side visuals, profile photos, pull quotes, or supporting graphics.

Image positioning is configured through the Position on page property in the Properties panel. Depending on the selected position, Tangelo automatically applies text wrapping and reserves space around the image within the page layout.

By default, images are inserted In text, meaning they follow the normal text flow. Fixed positioning options allow the image to remain anchored to a specific area on the page or within a column layout.

Summary

After configuring image positioning, the image remains fixed at the selected page position while surrounding content automatically wraps around it.

Expected Result

The image is positioned at the selected fixed location and surrounding content flows around the image automatically.

Remarks

• In text positioning places the image directly within the normal text flow.
• Fixed positioning reserves space on the page and can affect surrounding content placement.
• Positioning an image at the top of a page may move section titles or paragraphs lower on the page.

• Always validate the final PDF output after adjusting image positioning.
