Would a Graphic Style combined with an Action or Script that applies the Graphic Style be sufficient?

Apply a stroke to the image and use the Effect > Path > Outline Object on the stroke.

Thank you for the reply. We can manually apply strokes to image in illustrator using mask or rectangular tool. But my question is, I had placed the image and applied strokes and fill color to that image in indesign. And I want to recreate that same image in illustrator. I can able to recreate the image but the strokes and fill color is not recreating along with the image.. Can you help me to write a script to Appling strokes and fill color to that placed image. The image placed in indesign should be recreate as it is in illustrator.

You can also copy from InDesign and Paste in Illustrator.

Illustrator doesn’t have image “frames” in the InDesign sense. Create a new path with the same size and position as the image’s bounds, and stroke that.

    I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for (it's not a script) but you could create a Graphic Style and apply it to an image. See screenshot.

     

    You will need to add a new stroke in the Appearance panel, then add an effect to that stroke by choosing the new stroke, then , fx > Convert to Shape > Rectangle. Set as shown in the screenshot. Once you have an appearance you like, save it as a Graphic Stlye by opening the GS panel and with the image selected, click the plus button to save the style so that you can apply it to other images.

      Thank you for the reply. But I'm asking how to write a code for applying stroke color and weight on image frame in illustrator. How can we implement stroke property in image frame on illustrator. Because in illustrator image frame has no stroke property.
