Hi there, I've around 500 images that I want to place into a singe ID doc, 1 per page, 500 pages for print. Is there a quick way to do this? Maybe a script or do I have to do it manually? Thanks for your time.

You could do it in this way:

With Acrobat pro convert all images in pdf file.

Take a look here

https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/acrobat/using/creating-simple-pdfs-acrobat.html#create_multiple_pdfs_from_multiple_files_acrobat_pro

File > Create > Create Multiple PDF Files

Choose Add Files > Add Files or Add Folders, select the files or folder  >  OK > in the Output Options dialog box, specify your target folder and filename preferences, and then click OK.

Then with the script "MultiPageImporter" import all your files

One other way could be with Data Merge.
