Thanks so much for these suggestions. I've read through the posts (and more) and I have something that's almost workable.
I've pasted it below. Is it possible to modify this to:
1. use sequential file numbers (001, 002, 003 etc) throughout the document rather than the current page number references
Generally I need all files to be named: name_file number_r1.ext
2. update multiple instances of the same file? Currently it gives an error when trying to rename the second instance of a file that's already been renamed.
Thanks for any help you can give.
