Adding file name to imported file automatically

Hello,

I saw a lot of documents made in Adobe Framemaker, that have some coding in imported files (images, .fm documents etc.) like in pictures below.

I guess that the imported code is a file name. Do you anybody know how to do that automatically in Framemaker?

 

 

Thanks

 

Adam

    As Jeff said, this could likely be scripted using ExtendScript, which is built into FrameMaker. If you are interested in exploring this, please private message me. Thank you.

      Automatically? No, that would have to be scripted. I suspect that the little ID numbers you reference are either added as callouts to the graphics or added into the graphics before adding them into the FM content.
