Hi LT, The path to a packaged InDesign file’s Links folder would be:

var linkFolder = app.activeDocument.filePath + "/Links"

//add an Images folder
var f = new Folder(linkFolder + "/Images/");
f.create();

Hello @laurent tourniel7664515,

Give this a try...

var myDoc = app.activeDocument,
apis = myDoc.allPageItems, rect, fileName;

while ( rect = apis.pop() )
{
// alert(rect.graphics[0].itemLink.filePath)
if ( !(rect instanceof Rectangle) || !rect.graphics[0].isValid ){ continue; }

fileName = File ( rect.graphics[0].itemLink.filePath ).name;
fileName = fileName.replace( /\.[a-z]{2,4}$/i, '.jpg' );

app.jpegExportPreferences.exportResolution = 300;
app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegQuality = JPEGOptionsQuality.MEDIUM;

//make new folder
var f = new Folder(myDoc.filePath + "/Links/Images/");
f.create();

//give it a unique name
var myFile = new File(f +'/' + fileName);

rect.exportFile(ExportFormat.JPG, myFile);
}

Regards,

Mike
