Question

ID CS4 rename all links by page number/appearance order

Hi

I desperately need a script that will rename all linked files within an InDesgin CS4 file with a prefix followed by the page number(s) on which it apprears, and then a letter suffix to differentiate between images on the same page.

eg. If the prefix I want to use is "JOB_001" then the filenames would be renamed and relinked like so:

JOB_001_master_A.eps - (file appears on master page A)

JOB_001_p1a.eps

JOB_001_p2_3_4.eps (file appears on pages 2 3 and 4)

JOB_001_p2a.eps

JOB_001_p2b.eps

JOB_001_p2c.tif

JOB_001_p3a.tif

JOB_001_p3b.eps

JOB_001_p4a.eps

JOB_001_p4b.eps

JOB_001_p4c.tif

Does anyone know of a script already out there that can do this?

Thanks

Check out this post and a few posts above it — it's quite close to what you want.

Here you can download the latest version of the script: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2436686#2436686

Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately I'm not a scripter so editing an existing script is going to be a challenge.

I thought there might be something already out there, but may be I can piece soething together from the thread you pointed out

Thanks again.

I remade the script for you. However it doesn't deal with links placed on more than one page. I'm working so can't test it right now.
