Resizing multiple images at a go

Hello,

I am using Adobe InDesign 2018 and am currently working on a project extending to 500 pages with a lot of images in it. I would like to resize all the images at a single go across all the pages as I have a fixed scaling size to follow. Resizing each of them takes a hell of time. Does anybody know a script or a way to resize all the images at a go?

I had tried to use 'Transform Sequence' and it automatically picks up last transform action, which is great. However, I can't run Transform Again across multiple pages therefore I am looking so a solution that can help me select all the images in the document at a go and allow me to resize the images at a go.

Hope to receive positive responses. Thank you for taking out the time and helping me out.

Regards,

Aman Mittal

You can certainly ask over at the scripting forum: InDesign Scripting, but have you explored object styles?

Hey Michael,

This is a great plug-in but is too costly, as well. No matter, thank you for helping out.

Hey Barb,

Thank you for taking out the time to reply to the thread. I just explored scripting section and found a plug-in named 'Repeat After Me' (though paid) which replays the last stop across all the images. However, now I am looking for a free source as the charge for a plug-in is relatively high.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Much appreciated.

Why not resize them on an export to PDF? The Compression tab lets you downsample to a uniform ppi resolution

Hey Rob,

Thank you for the reply. You are absolutely right however, I need to resize the images to a particular sized frame of 5 inch x 8 inch.

Not sure I'm following.

If I export this image in an 8"x5" frame using the default PDF/X-4 preset, which down samples any thing over 450ppi to 300, I get an 8"x5" 300ppi image when I inspect in AcrobatPro:

Hey Erica,

Thank you for taking out the time to reply to the thread. I tried using the script but didn't get the desired results. I just explored scripting section and found a plug-in named 'Repeat After Me' (though paid) which replays the last stop across all the images. However, now I am looking for a free source as the charge for a plug-in is relatively high.

So, thank you for taking out the time to reply to the thread. Much appreciated.
