Count Images (placed and pasted) in InDesign

[amanm5143]

Hi,

I am working on a few documents which consist of placed and pasted images. Since, pasted images don't show up in Links panel hence, there is no way to find out the total image count. Is there a way to find out the total number of images (inclusive of linked and pasted images) through a script? I found out this thread:

However, this generates results in a JavaScript Console of the ESTK (ExtendScript Toolkit), which I don't have. Hence, I am looking for a pop-up or document oriented result.

I have no idea about script editing, and would be grateful if anyone could help with the same.

Thanks & Regards,

Aman

Hi Aman,

just give it an alert instead of a $.writeln.

var doc = app.documents[0];   
var result = [ "Doc Name" +" : "+ "Total Number of Graphics on Doc" ];   
result[1] = doc.name + " : " + doc.allGraphics.length 
alert("RESULT"+"\r"+result.join("\r"));

FWIW:

The ExtendScript Toolkit app can be downloaded here:

Download Creative Cloud apps

Or right-click a sample jsx script in the Scripts Panel and chose "Edit".

The ESTK should be downloaded and installed if it is not there.

Uwe
